‘Lost for words’: Defence and strategic policy expert receives AO

Defence and strategic policy expert Peter Jennings says he is “lost for words” after being made an Officer of the Order of Australia.

“I’m normally pretty opinionated about things but it is of course a tremendous honour,” he told Sky News Australia.

“And in my case, I am delighted that recognition has been given to people that work on Australian strategic policy because I just think that is going to be incredibly important for the country going forward.”
