The planned development of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) will leave it unable to cope with the unpredictable nature of conflict, warns former Major General Adam Findlay. The government said it would increase defence spending by an additional $50 billion (US$33.28 billion) over ten years, on top of the $270 billion (US$179 billion) already dedicated to the ADF under the Morrison government in 2020. The new investment continues the ongoing development of Australia’s porcupine strategy, and includes the acquisition of long-range weapons and drones. This strategy of denial revolves around the idea of retaliation, so that if a country were to launch an attack on Australia, the ADF could, in turn, respond quickly and aggressively to cause severe damage to that country. Taiwan has adopted a similar precaution against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
