| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The May 2009 White paper is an important policy document on the future posture and plans of Australian defence and strategic policy, it is riddled with contradictions. While it does look ahead, it is nuclear what its immediate challenges are. Moreover, it fails to identify its likely adversaries and equally fails to fustify the huge military programme. |
