Concerning headline from Dutton ..., page-15

Reading the ABC site, it doesn't sound so bad as the Australian paper's headline.
A wee bit of selective editing as usual.

"The only way you can preserve peace is to prepare for war, and to be strong as a country" Mr Dutton told Channel 9.
"Not to cower or be on bended knee or be weak. That's the reality."
Mr Dutton said the government had done that by boosting defence spending, as well as citing the government's plan to build nuclear powered submarines and develop advanced military technology under the AUKUS pact.
