For clarity, the ebook titled “National Defence Strategy for Australia: The Game of Go vs Chess” is a collaborative effort credited to Alexandra Hunter.
This publication synthesises insights from a diverse array of contributors over a six-month period, and extensive analysis that included the iterative application of AI were utilised to distill essential information, culminating in a meticulously crafted condensed final product. Excerpts from the book were shared on social media to elicit comments for research purposes.
The narrative within the ebook represents just a fragment of a broader tapestry of strategic considerations. The scenario unfolds amidst regional conflicts across Europe and the Middle East, with the turmoil in Asia—specifically following the invasion of Taiwan—emerging as a pivotal axis in the Pacific.
This chain of upheaval leads to an extraordinary exodus of millions of war refugees from the greater Asian region, creating a humanitarian crisis characterized by desperation and famine. Amidst this turmoil, some individuals are organized and armed, participating in a humanitarian special operation that is being coordinated by a foreign coalition for self-serving motives to occupy the rainforests of far North Queensland.
This work challenges every reader to consider the implications of inaction and the value of foresight—a reminder that amidst the currents of war refugees and the thunderous approach of the enemy, emerges a test: How will Australia, with its “One-Shot” military capability, innovate and adapt in the face of a transformative global crisis? The answer may shape the future of a nation.
