Description
In this speech by Mr Bruce Davis, Director General, AusAID, delivered at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute on Thursday 27 October 2005, he says that "the conventional concept of 'security' cannot be viewed in isolation. It is tightly linked to other variables including standards of governance and public financial management, the delivery of basic services, and of course, to levels of poverty."
"As a result", he adds, " I think we would now find across the Australian government a greater openness to more sophisticated definitions of security, definitions that range beyond physical security to include concepts such as food security, livelihood security and security of access to resources such as water and energy."
