Is Australia quietly building a wall — not of bricks, but of alliances?In this episode, we break down how Australia is creating a defensive line across the Indo-Pacific through new partnerships with Singapore, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia.From joint bases and naval agreements to shared training and patrols, these partnerships are designed to push Australia’s defensive perimeter north — echoing fears once symbolised by the “Brisbane Line” of World War II.We’ll explore how this modern barrier complements the US strategy in the Pacific, and whether this new line of defence will be enough to deter an increasingly assertive China.🇦🇺 Watch more Talking Tactics with Mel Pikos for deep dives into strategy, security, and geopolitics across the Indo-Pacific.#Australia #China #Geopolitics #IndoPacific #Defence #TalkingTactics #MilitaryStrategy #AustraliaChina #PacificSecurity #aukus 00:00 Is Australia Building a Wall?00:44 China's Expanding Reach02:34 The Modern "Brisbane Line"03:49 Australia's Chain of Defence Agreements04:33 Singapore06:48 The Philippines08:20 Indonesia09:35 Japan11:21 Other Partners12:35 The Strategic Implications---Like the 3D printed models in the background?
