I think 🇦🇺 still looks for the risk-free option in things because we had it good for so long. Most options involve risk now, and it’s a matter of choosing which kinds we can live with. We haven’t built that muscle memory. Iain’s piece was a nice read from that perspective.

Australia needs a tragic statesman
Throughout Australian history, few leaders have understood geopolitical tragedy. The optimism-bias of the 'lucky country' leaves it ill-equipped to deal with an increasingly volatile Indo-Pacific.

The tl;dr of @teepra.bsky.social's analysis on Modi's third visit to Australia: we've come a long way in developing the strategic partnership, but it still needs work. theconversation.com/narendra-mod...

Narendra Modi’s visit to Australia will be a display of strategic pragmatism
The Indian leader is visiting for the third time. Australia and India will be united in their shared geopolitical interests, if not their domestic approaches.

My research note on using ChatGPT/LLMs in teaching has somehow hit 10 citations in less than two years! A side project has become my most cited piece. An example of teaching lead research. @ausjpa.bsky.social #chatgpt onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Excited to write with Abdul Rahman Yaacob on this piece which presents a unique view on the rising defence role of China in Southeast Asia.

Is China Replacing the US as Thailand’s Main Security Partner?
In both arms sales and joint military exercises, China has been rapidly catching up to – or even surpassing – the U.S., Thailand’s official ally.

Indo-Pacific influence should be measured by your presence in the food court. 🇹🇼and 🇯🇵 are strongest performers - Xing Fu Tang, Din Tai Fung, Yoshinoya, Pepper Lunch. Notable mentions 🇸🇬 (Ya Kun Kaya Toast) & 🇦🇺 (Boost Juice) - while they are not catering to the masses they still have a unique role/menu
