'The price of attacking us is far, far too high': Molan | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Jim Molan says it is absolutely necessary that Australia develops a “very clear” defence strategy in order to demonstrate it is capable of deflecting foreign security threats. \n\nMr Molan praised the Prime Minister for last week unveiling a $270 billion boost to the nation’s defence strategy in the shadow of potential cyber and security threats. \n\n“Now he didn’t say we’re about to go to war in five or 10 years but he did say that the rule of law is breaking down and that certain nations are taking an aggressive stance, an assertive stance and that we should very, very much be prepared for this,' he said. \n\n“[China] has been very assertive in their treatment of us, but not only us, also just about every other nation in the world. \n\nMr Molan said Australia was set to engage with the United States in a series of RIMPAC exercises in the South China Sea to demonstrate their defence strategies. \n\n“That’s where I talk about winning – in order to deter conflict you don’t just have something, you must illustrate to an aggressor that the price of attacking us is far, far too high,” he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n \n\n
