Michael speaks with Greg Sheridan, Economics Editor with The Australian & author of ‘Christians, the urgent case for Jesus in our world’, for his view on the situation with the Solomon Islands, China & Australia from a defence point of view.

Mr Sheridan writes, ‘This Anzac Day Scott Morrison drew a bright red line for China, while Defence Minister Peter Dutton compared Russia and China with Nazi Germany and said “the only way you can preserve peace is to prepare for war”.’

‘If the 2020s are really the 1930s all over again, how is it the government is not going to produce any significant new defence capabilities for the rest of this decade?’

‘This decade does resemble the 1930s, not because we face a new Hitler or even a new imperial Japan but because of the utter fecklessness of defence policy and the miserable failure in defence of both sides of politics.’
