"When United States Vice-President Kamala Harris was at the Vandenberg Space
Force Base in California earlier this week she said the US would not conduct
tests of destructive, direct ascent anti-satellite missiles.

This is the first time any country has made such an explicit commitment, and
the US has called for other nations to do the same.

Australia would do well to take up the invitation, and put ourselves – and our
new Space Command – on the map as responsible actors in space who demand the
same of others."
