Air and Space Power Conference 2024

2024 Air and Space Power Conference, National Convention Centre, Canberra, 8-9 May 2024.

The 2024 Air and Space Power Conference focuses on building air and space power capability in the context of the ADF’s capstone concept, integrated campaigning. The conference delves into lessons from recent conflicts and industry experience to position national air and space power for current and future strategic challenges. The conference examines these issues in the context of the Defence Strategic Review, the current regional environment and future threat casting to build resilience in an ‘always operating’ model. A holistic view of National defence will be addressed through insights from the PM&C Taskforce and the industry approach to embracing the uncertain future to reduce fragility.

Pointless or Populism?

This article began as a response to Daniel Cook’s recent article on ‘Turning the Tap Off – Stopping the Flow of Pointless Jobs in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF)’ (Cook, 2023); as such, it will address some of the points raised in that article within the context a broader trend towards what I term ‘military populism’.
