Australia could face ‘big problems’ over imports and infrastructure if war breaks out

Strategic Analysis Australia Director Michael Shoebridge says there are “big problems” for Australia if war broke out in our region considering imports and infrastructure. “There is a real schizophrenia here,” he said. “There are two big problems if a war broke out and our overseas trade was interrupted. “Australia is more dependent on imports from China than any other developed economy on the planet. “In the defence sector they seem to not know what Australian companies can make that will be critical to our military in times of war.”
