Defence review to be announced

The government is announcing a defence force review today, which it wants completed in about six months. Is this in response to China?

It's because we need an ADF that is well-positioned to meet our security challenges over the next decade and beyond.

And we have inherited, as you all know, some real capability issues, some of which have been well publicised in the media. It is important that we look at how we ensure the Australian defence force can meet our security challenges, not just now, but in the years ahead. So, you know, I welcomed this and the prime minister and the defence minister will be having - we'll have more details about this later today.
