In this episode of the National Security Podcast, Bec Shrimpton from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, joins Katherine Mansted in conversation to explore the rapidly changing landscape of big tech.

Bec Shrimpton is the Director, Defence Strategy and National Security at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
