Navigating Uncertainty - S2E02 - Fighting Afghanistan's Drug War
24m · Published
President Biden's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan in September marks the end of a 20-year conflict for the US and many of its NATO allies.
Reflecting on the challenges faced during this conflict, Gareth Rice explains his research on the lesser-known drug war that intersected with the counterinsurgency campaign.
With Afghanistan providing the source of 90% of the world's supply of illicit-opium, the war on drugs has become interviewed with Afghan society and the insurgency that depends on it for its survival.
Gareth's research goes to the heart of understanding modern insurgency and the role of the militaries in countering threats that are a nexus of criminal and politically-motivated groups.
Navigating Uncertainty - S2E01 - Australia And The ANZUS Treaty
41m · Published
70 years ago, on 1 September 1951, Australia, the United States and New Zealand signed the Australia, NZ, US Security (ANZUS) Treaty. Although New Zealand was suspended from the treaty in 1986, the ANZUS Treaty has been the bedrock of Australian security for seven decades.
In this episode of Navigating Uncertainty, Associate Professor David Lee talks to Professor David Lowe, a biographer of Percy Spender, the Australian architect of the treaty. They discuss how and why the treaty came to be signed, its impact on US-Australian relations, and the contemporary challenges facing the treaty partners.

Navigating Uncertainty - S01E12 - Why Biodiversity Loss Is A Growing Risk For Business
36m · Published
It should come as no surprise that for the second consecutive decade, the world has failed to meet any targets agreed to by the United Nations to conserve biodiversity. While big business has historically been at odds with the environment, is there room to hope now that they are waking up to serious financial risks that come with biodiversity loss? Join this discussion with UNSW researchers Megan Evans and Katie Moon as they draw on their research to highlight the opportunities and risks that occur at the environment-business-society interface.
Navigating Uncertainty - S01E11 - Australia’s Earliest Great War Novels
35m · Published
Australia’s earliest Great War novels were more than just first drafts of the Anzac legend, argues UNSW Canberra’s Dr Christina Spittel.
Reading and writing were part of the war effort, and these very early books, brittle and virtually forgotten now, offered themselves as companions through what they openly acknowledged to be difficult, trying, uncertain times: they offered moral support and guidance, they made room for anxieties and insecurities and they unfolded a vision of total war.
Navigating Uncertainty - S01E10 - Multiculturalism Without Minority Rights
28m · Published
Religious and cultural minorities struggle to be accommodated in diverse societies because our institutions commonly favour the majority way of life.
So for minorities to practice their ways of life, they may seem to need minority rights.
Multiculturalists, for example, argue that male Sikhs should have exemptions from compulsory headwear requirements and that Muslim women should be allowed to wear veils as part of standard uniforms in the police and other public institutions. But as Dr Peter Balint argues, we should simply remove this majority privilege altogether, rather than adding minority rights.
Navigating Uncertainty - S01E09 - Armageddon & OKRA: Australian air power in the Middle East
32m · Published
Armageddon and OKRA: Australian air power in the Middle East a century apart
In 1918, Australian led air power helped defeat an Ottoman army during the Battle of Armageddon in Palestine.
One hundred years later, Australian air power was again operating in the Middle East during Operation OKRA.
A century seems a long time in the contemporary world. But these two points in time – Armageddon and OKRA – are inextricably linked in terms of the Australian experience of war.
Lewis Frederickson, Chief of Air Force Fellow at UNSW Canberra, and Professor Clinton Fernandes discuss the synergies between these two conflicts.
