On this week's episode of Space Connect Podcast, host Bella Richards chats with space, defence and aviation veteran Brett Biddington about his thoughts on Australia's current trajectory towards sovereign capability. During the episode, Brett reveals his thoughts on what Australia should focus on when it comes to space – such as ground stations rather than launches – and how, without a firm space policy, the nation won't achieve much of its key interests. Bella and Brett also chat about Australia's skills shortage and how the lack of grassroots education is hindering the growth of positions being filled.
