For Australia, a need for greater burden sharing in a more dangerous global environment must be factored into consideration in the 2015 Defence White Paper. The recent announcement by the Abbott Government of a commitment to boost defence spending to $50bn is a step in the right direction, but it may not have ten years to achieve this goal. Current Australian defence strategy should focus on forward area operations in the South China Sea or the Indian Ocean as part of a regional coalition undertaking AirSea Battle and Offshore Control rather than rear area tasks in the South Pacific.
No it is not 'a step in the right direction' because the Entrenched Defence Bureaucracy does not know what it is doing. Giving them more money is the wrong answer.
The second part about 'forward area operations' is, insane.
