National defence readiness and military tradition, with Robert Borsak

In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, senior journalist Robert Dougherty discusses military tradition and domestic firearms manufacturing with Robert Borsak, regional communities advocate, NSW Legislative Council member and Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party chairman. The pair take an unconventional, "outside the Canberra bubble" look at national defence readiness, including: The traditional and now evolving role of agricultural communities as key populations for the recruitment of Australian Defence Force personnel, who are already familiar with firearms use and horse riding. The continuing discussion regarding the domestic manufacture of defence weaponry in times of conflict, rather than reliance on international supply chains. Borsak's perspectives on the current federal election and the possibility of current US government strategy making its way to Australia. Enjoy the podcast, The Defence Connect team
