"Last week, foreign minister Penny Wong laid out the strategic challenges
facing Australia in a major speech.
Wong described great power competition involving China, America and Russia. She
warned of the risk of conflict in our region as China expands its sphere of
influence. And she defended the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal with the United
States and United Kingdom.
But these are traditional challenges: nation against nation. Australia needs a
similar declaration of the catastrophic security implications of climate
change.
While Wong did mention climate change, it was secondary, set in the context of
regional outreach.
As the climate crisis worsens, we must do more. Climate change is a threat.
Maybe even
the threat. We need to use every tool we have to tackle it –
including our diplomats."
