The first of all indicate that the
amount of time for this debate is | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
very tired. I will do my best to
keep my comments were relatively | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
short. In doing this, I want to make
it clear that I do not intend to | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
speak on any length on weapons or
troop numbers. Important as they | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
are, there are many people here
better equipped than I am to speak | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
on such matters. What I would like
to do, is talk about our defence | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
strategy, in relation to our foreign
policy. We should start by | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
recognising that defence is the
handmaiden of foreign policy. I also | 0:00:41 | 0:00:49 | |
recognise, and it's very important
to recognise that the defence is not | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
only important for war fighting, but
as a more deterrent policy. | 0:00:54 | 0:01:10 |
