Launch of Deterring at a distance: The strategic logic of AUKUS
This event at the National Press Club marked the launch of a Lowy Institute Analysis paper Deterring at a distance: the strategic logic of AUKUS, written by one of the government's most knowledgeable and experienced defence thinkers. Luke Gosling argues that nuclear-powered submarines will be central to Australia's ability to defeat threats of attack, counter a naval blockade, and support the regional balance of power. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles launched the paper, after which Luke Gosling made his case for nuclear-powered submarines, before being joined on stage by Lowy Institute Executive Director Dr Michael Fullilove AM for questions, including from the audience.
Luke Gosling OAM MP has served as the Member for Solomon since 2016. He served in the Australian Army for 13 years in the Parachute Infantry, Commandos, and Defence Cooperation Programs. He deployed to Papua New Guinea, Rifle Company Butterworth, Malaysia, and Timor-Leste, as well as working in Afghanistan.
Richard Marles MP is the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, Minister for Defence, and the Federal Member for Corio. Richard was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2007.
