| Former prime minister Kevin Rudd has declared there are "major gaps" in Australia's new defence strategy, accusing the Coalition government of a "botched" submarine program and failing to build up the nation's cyber defences fast enough.
Mr Rudd also hit out at the government's Pacific "step-up", saying its aid spending in the region has only just recovered to where it was in 2013, which had opened the door to China "because Australia was seen as an unreliable aid partner".
