Terrorism 'first order issue' for Australia: security analyst
Updated
An Australian security expert says terrorism should be a first order issue for Australia, as the Rudd government works to finish a new defence policy paper.
Professor Alan Dupont says that includes the prospect of a terrorist attack on an Australian city and a North Korean missile that reaches almost to northern Australia.
Professor Dupont also names nuclear proliferation as a concern, a view echoed by the eminent British strategic expert, Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman, who is visiting Australia in part to advise on new efforts at nuclear arms control and disarmament.
Presenter: Linda Mottram
Speakers: Sir Lawrence Freedman, Professor of War Studies, Kings College, London; Professor Alan Dupont, Michael Hintze Chair of International Security, University of Sydney
