The Government's new surface fleet review has been broadly welcomed by experts with the fleet to scale up from 11 warships to 26, and with $11 billion in funding attached.

Defence Minister Richard Marles says it will increase the lethality of Australia's defence force. He's also hit back at Opposition criticism of the timeline for the overhaul, claiming this is the "fastest procurement we've seen in our navy in many years" and labelling Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie's comments as "hypocrisy."

Guest: Richard Marles, Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister
