Whatever become of the Australian
Defence Strategic Review “Interim Big Picture Report” that I over-optimistically
hoped might be released November 1, 2022?
The Review being led by:
- well qualified (and possibly B-21 recommending) Sir Angus Houston, and
- unfortunately Labor Party insider Stephen Smith.
Well Guardian Australia in an excellent report of November 4, 2022 advises:
"Houston and Smith met the
deputy prime minister [and part-time Defence Minister] Richard Marles, on [November
3, 2022] to provide an interim update, but the initial report was expected
to remain confidential.
Houston and Smith were
weighing up the ADF’s posture and structure and where the government should
prioritise its spending.
The government views the
review as a significant and necessary piece of work and plans to publish the
final report next year.” [possibly February 1, 2023]
