The Straits Times:
Australia has been debating whether to install a missile defence shield to protect the country’s north following the growing threat of a strike from North Korea.
The leading calls have come from Australia’s two former prime ministers, Mr Tony Abbott and Mr Kevin Rudd, who said the nation needs an anti-ballistic missile system.
The calls followed North Korea’s expanding missile programme and its threat to Australia in April to stop “blindly and zealously toeing the US line” or it would consider launching a nuclear strike.
