Pleasantly surprised with this edition! Not a topic I’d usually be too excited for, but I found it informative with a broad range of views. The article by Penny Wong was particularly impressive but probably lacked any precise proposals/policy positions. Although I guess this is understandable at this point in the electoral cycle.
As always, the correspondence section is a highlight,

I have been a big fan of the long-form essay for some time now. This is the first time I have purchased a copy of Australian Foreign Affairs. In this issue, I learnt from:
1) Andrew Davies, a senior fellow at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, how our intelligence community is a work in progress since December 2018;
2) Danielle Cave, the deputy director of the International Cyber Policy Centre at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, how CoVid-19 and cyberspace has changed spy craft, as well as how pervasive the Russians and China are at disseminating misinformation to undermine the “new world order” to create a “new, new world order”; that the lack of global co-operation is a vulnerability that the Russians and China are taking full advantage of;
3) Anne-Marie Brady, professor at the University of Canterbury, who writes about the “party-state-military-market nexus” of China, how their intelligence agencies are spread through such a nexus and why more specialists are needed to understand how it all works, in order to restrict their dominance in intelligence gathering.
Highly recommended for those who want to be informed by well written essays.
