Why has Australia “all but institutionalised self-censorship in intellectual strategic thought”? With Dr Elizabeth Buchanan, Senior Fellow at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), we discuss her piece ‘The Sad State of Australia’s Security Discourse.’ Elizabeth lays out the importance of cultivating rich, robust, contestable, and nuanced dialogue in security and broader foreign policy spaces.
