Patrick Graham is joined by his colleague, Associate Professor Cameron Moore, to talk about Australia's maritime interests and its relationship with Australia's regional and remote communities.

Cameron is Deputy Head of the UNE School of Law. Between 1996 and 2003, Cameron was a Legal Officer in the Royal Australian Navy: he remains in the Navy Reserve at the rank of Commander. He completed a deployment in Afghanistan in 2010. Cameron's doctoral thesis was on the Australian Defence Force and the executive power.

Cameron's research focuses on the law of the sea and freedom of navigation, military force and maritime security, as well as on natural resources.

In this week's episode, Cameron chats to Patrick about natural resource exploitation, violence, and poverty at sea. Australia's increasingly challenging security environment presents unique issues for regional, rural, and remote Australians.
