BRISBANE, Australia—Former federal Attorney-General George Brandis has warned there is too little debate about the possibility of conflict in the Indo-Pacific, as well as a dearth of “awareness and consciousness” about Australia’s global responsibilities.
“One of the things that has struck me very strongly is how few voices there are in the national security discussion in Australia. The debate about Australia’s position in the world, our position in the region, foreign policy, and strategic policy generally, is a debate that tends to go over the head of the general public,” he told an audience in Brisbane on June 12.
