		<description><![CDATA[Since the Defence White Paper 2013 emphasises the Defence of Australia, it’s useful to look at where we would be able to project force under the cover of our own airbases by having a standing fighter patrol, or &#8216;Combat Air Patrol&#8217; (CAP) overhead. The picture that emerges is perhaps surprisingly limited. The map below shows approximate ranges for that [...]]]></description>

Amid the world’s resources boom and high global demand, Africa’s vast oil, gas and mineral resources have the potential to drastically improve and transform the lives of African populations. So why do some of the world’s poorest people live in one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Australia–Indonesia relationship is headed in a broadly positive direction, with the potential for defence and security cooperation to grow. But people-to-people and economic links are surprisingly limited and more needs to be done to build ballast into a relationship often at risk due to misperceptions.

There are four overall principles that have characterised Defence of Australia policies. The first is the self-reliant Defence of Australia. The new White Paper leaves no equivocation on this [...]]]></description>
