News24 defence analyst Peter Jennings says its Australian defence bases have been guarded by “unarmed security” for 25 years, but warns Australia is becoming increasingly vulnerable to attacks. “It’s been a matter of fact that for about 25 years unarmed security guards have been guarding Australian defence bases,” Mr Jennings told News24 host Danica De Giorgio. “What has changed in the interim is that there is now, I think, a larger, more obvious threat to Australian bases. “We’re pretty vulnerable to that type of domestic threat, and we’re increasingly vulnerable in the event of a conflict, of course, to, you know, longer-range missile attacks.”
