Proud to reflect on 9/11 with John.
Terrorism seeks effects far beyond its immediate victims. It wants fear & division. Terrorism achieves a strategic goal if it destroys trust and turns parts of society against each other.
So social cohesion is a national security capability.
On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, @BassiJustin & @johncoyne14 reflect in @australian on the day & what’s changed. They write that “with the rise of social media in those 25 years, our ability to cope with difference, disagreement and crises has regressed.”

🚨 NEW EXPLAINER 🚨
In 'Strait up tolls?', @BuchananLiz and @AdelAGhafar warn that letting Iran charge for passage through the Strait of Hormuz would set a precedent reaching well beyond the Gulf, to waterways much closer to Australia.
