Defence Minister Richard Marles, Premier Peter Malinauskas speak at The Advertiser’s Defending Australia forum
Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie says the message from Chinese warships live-firing off Australia’s coast has been received “loud and clear”.
Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie says the Chinese warships live-firing during training off the coast of Australia was a message to the nation – and it was received “loud and clear”.
“I think there’s a message there, I think the average person in the street with a PhD in life got the message loud and clear,” Mr Hastie said at the Defending Australia event forum in Adelaide on Wednesday afternoon.
The forum, hosted by The Advertiser and The Australian, gathered the nation’s top defence decision makers together to discuss AUKUS, submarines and the Chinese warships off the nation’s coastline.
Defence Minister Richard Marles, Premier Peter Malinauskas, along with Mr Hastie and other key industry leaders discussed how to best face the changing global defence landscape.
