Bogan Intelligentsia

Description:
In Episode 22 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we’re excited to host former Australian Ambassador to China, Geoff Raby, for a compelling discussion on Australia’s Indo-Pacific strategy. Raby reflects on Australia’s evolving regional role since his ambassadorial tenure, offering insights on balancing China-US relations after Albanese’s China visit. We explore adapting to a multipolar world, the 2024 National Defence Strategy’s impact on AUKUS and the Quad, and navigating tensions in Taiwan and the South China Sea. Raby discusses ASEAN engagement, green industry partnerships, strategic equilibrium for sovereignty, and the potential of middle-power diplomacy.
