Traditionally the key elements of Australia's defence policy have been keeping Australia free from direct threat, maintaining economic security and fostering an international security environment. Australia is free from threat largely because of the deterrent effect of our armed forces.
Equally we deter other forms of threat to our security by means of our political system, our economic system, our border security and our legal system, among others.
This lecture will focus on these deterrents, as well as the importance of resilience, and practical measures that must be addressed now to ensure that our deterrents remain both credible and able to recover quickly if needed.
