Today marks 5 years serving as Australia's Chief Defence Scientist. It's a privilege to lead DSTG & establish ASCA -the Advanced Strategic Capability Accelerator. Fitting to mark this by presenting the keynote at a US conference. We've kicked goals, but there's much more to do.

This year's International Women's Day theme is #BalanceTheScales - justice being at the core of a civil society. Good to hear from our political leaders their commitment to realising the potential of all of our citizens.

So good to be here to see Michael Wear win the first Indigenous Science Prize at the #PMPrizes

Thank you Komal and Jafar for your outstanding work, contributimg to the Defence of Australia. @DefenceScience

Successful launch!
