A report to be released by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute on 19 August suggests that there is a growing gap between Australia’s strategic policy and its military assets in the northern part of the nation. The report’s release, which calls for a boost to defence capacity in that part of the country, will coincide with the release of a separate report from the United States Studies Centre that will argue that the US no longer "enjoys military primacy in the Indo-Pacific". The release of the two reports comes as China seeks to expand its defence and strategic presence in the region.
