Expectations for the budget and Defence Strategic Review, with ASPI's Marcus Hellyer Australian Defence Magazine Podcast

In this episode, Grant McHerron and Ewen Levick talk with Marcus Hellyer, Senior Analyst with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), about his views on the pending Defence Strategic Review and possible impacts from the October budget.
We discuss how the Labor Party may approach the review, the influence the parliamentary system has on the management of the ADF, and the impacts it has on the funding, timelines and viability of major Defence programs. Finally, we explore the challenges of defining the purpose of the ADF and establishing what types of capabilities could be prioritised.
