| Summary |
Apart from military operations, no area of Australian defence activity attracts more attention than the procurement of capability for the defence force. There are good reasons for this. Aside from the billions of taxpayer dollars involved, defence industry is a major enterprise employing around 30,000 Australians. More importantly, Australia's ability to defend itself depends on the timely and affordable delivery of arms and munitions. With so much at stake, it is not surprising that the government's plans for acquiring capability are of considerable interest to both the public and industry. In essence, the review was asked a simple question: how much should the government disclose about its plans for equipping Australia's defence force? Our answer, set out in this report, is that there are tangible benefits to increasing the current level of disclosure, and that the risks in doing so are manageable |
