Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This article examines some key features of the Defence White Paper 2009 and looks at the projected maritime components of Force 2030, concluding that the government has made a sensible commitment to maintaining the strength of Australia’s maritime capabilities and building up their capacity. At the same time, there are some significant hurdles to be crossed, even in the next five years, if these projections are to be realized. The community will be able to gauge the government’s performance in managing our defence in the next Defence White Paper, to be released in 2014.
