The Liberal government released a defence policy in 2017, at a time when the threat posed by terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant were front and centre. Anand says a lot has changed in the intervening five years, including not only Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but also growing tensions with China and more natural disasters requiring military support at home.
The minister says the update will look at ways to ensure the military is meeting such threats, but made no mention of whether cost will also be a factor.
