It’s a public holiday here in Australia, so Team Strategist will be back tomorrow to bring you more considered analysis on Australia’s defence and security issues after a short break.

Until then, if you haven’t done so already, be sure to check out Brendan Thomas-Noone’s dissection of General James Mattis’ approach to his new role as US Secretary of Defense, Kim Beazley on the US’ Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, Andrew Carr’s discussion of the rapid production of defence white papers, or Team Strategist‘s recent interview with Jakarta Post senior editor Endy Bayuni.

Catch you on Friday!
