Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday his government had accepted the key findings of a review recommending the biggest shakeup of Australia's defence since the end of the Second World War.

    Australia's defence will prioritise long-range precision strike capability and domestic manufacturing of guided weapons, the review said.
