it would be “inconceivable” that Australia wouldn’t come to Taiwan’s aid if the US joined a military effort to defend the democratically governed island against an invasion by China.against “doing anything that’s destructive to our relationship”.

when Morrison retires, foreshadowed that the government would announce “many other” defence-related decisions “in the coming months”. “That’s a decision that we’ve taken together as a national security committee to ensure that we’re keeping Australians safe.”
