Northern resilience shapes national resilience. Building it demands continuity

(Sally Henderson – ASPI The Strategist) Northern Australia has become a nationally significant strategic operating environment. Its industrial continuity, infrastructure resilience and sovereign capability directly shape Australia’s ability to withstand coercion, disruption and strategic competition. The region sits at the centre of Australia’s economic strength and strategic posture. In practice, northern Australia’s resilience shapes Australia’s broader national resilience. The north hosts export corridors, energy systems, ports, logistics networks, workforce capability and industrial infrastructure that underpin Australia’s economic security, defence posture and strategic sustainment capacity. – Northern resilience shapes national resilience.
