Sovereignty.
Fortress Australia: a defence force sized to the geography it has to defend. DFAT dissolved; four diplomatic posts that matter. Immigration capped at a level the country can house, train, and absorb.
Sovereignty is the cluster of choices that determine whether the country's future is decided in Canberra or somewhere else. The defence policy says the country defends itself. The foreign-affairs policy says the country pursues its own interests. The immigration policy says the country sets its own population trajectory. Each is calibrated to the others.
