The federal government will consider the final report of the Defence Strategic Review in coming weeks, after receiving it on Tuesday. Amongst other things, former defence chief Angus Houston and ex-defence minister Stephen Smith are believed to have recommended investing in military drones, unmanned submarines and warships that are equipped with guided missiles. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the review will "underpin defence policy for decades to come". He adds that the report has been delivered against the backdrop of the most complex strategic landscape that Australia has faced since the end of the Second World War.
