Former Labor Senator Stephen Conroy says Home Affairs Secretary Michael Pezzullo is right to send the “wakeup call” to complacent Australians by warning the “drums of war” are beating. In an Anzac Day message to staff Michael Pezzullo said the nation must strive to reduce the likelihood of war and warned Australia must prepare to send of troops to fight. Mr Pezzull did not mention a specific country, but his warning comes as tensions with China continue to deepen. “Mike’s privy to all the intelligence, I’ve known Mike for nearly 30 years, he’s a very sensible person, he understands the geopolitical games that are played,” Mr Conroy told Sky News. “You’ve just got to look at the militarisation of China over the last 10 years. “For those Australians who want to say it’s all Australia’s fault - it is not Australia’s fault that 200 pretend coast guard vessels are parked off the Philippines right now, that’s got nothing to do with Australia. “It’s got nothing to do with the fact the Chinese are breaching international airspace of the Taiwanese, the threats continually. “Tragically Mike is right to send the wakeup call - Australian’s have grown complacent since we won the Cold War”.
