What we’re seeing in the region is the biggest arms race, the biggest buildup of military since 1945 and concerningly, that is occurring without any transparency or strategic reassurance. This is a race where we need to make sure that the Ausrtalian Defence Force has the best possible equipment, and that’s why we’re providing the biggest peacetime increase in defence funding ever.

It describes an Australia … and Australian universities that I don’t recognise.
