Beyond oil: what the Hormuz crisis means for Australia
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the Strait of Hormuz crisis on Australia's economic security and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Why is the Strait of Hormuz crisis about more than crude oil, and what does it reveal about Australia’s hidden supply-chain vulnerabilities? What should investment in supply chain resilience look like for Australia? Does the green transition reduce Australia’s energy security risks, or does it shift our dependence to new materials, technologies and supply chains? How can Australia move from a ‘just in time’ to a ‘just in case’ approach to national resilience? In this episode, Walter Colnaghi and David Leaney join Sharryn Parker to discuss what the Hormuz crisis means for Australia’s economic security. Sharryn Parker is a Senior Policy Advisor at the ANU National Security College (NSC), on secondment from the Department of Defence. Walter Colnaghi is a PhD candidate at the ANU School of Politics and International Relations and a Research Assistant at NSC. David Leaney is a Lecturer at the ANU College of Business and Economics, and a specialist in international supply chain management.
