Women in National Security – episode 5

Hosted by the ANU National Security College, the Women in National Security Conference is a forum on the participation of women in Australia’s future national security policy and practice – and the National Security Podcast is here to bring you the highlights.On this fifth episode of the series, Chris Farnham hears from Nicole Renvert about Germany’s ties to the Indo-Pacific, catches up with participants on the final day of the conference, and chats to Huong Le Thu about how Southeast Asia views the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue. This episode is hosted by Gabrielle Kneipp.Wait! You thought this was the end, but we’re not quite done. One of the real highlights of the conference was 'Security through community: Wujal Wujal security songlines'. The panel featured Eileen Deemal-Hall and Tim Rutherford, and showcased an Indigenous community initiative to build human security by partnering with the local Army unit in Far North Queensland. We were so blown away by it that we got them into the studio to tell Jacinta Carroll and Jay Caldwell their amazing story of collaboration, friendship – and national security.
