Defence will overhaul its procurement process in a bid to fast-track new projects as strategic urgency increases.
Major reforms will be introduced in 2022 to cut red tape and streamline tender processes, giving industry greater clarity on upcoming tenders.
The changes will slash up to 12 months from the four years it typically takes to get projects to contract stage.
The reforms follow a 14-month review that received responses from small family-run enterprises to giant defence firms.
Three years to make a decision and sign a contract (well done). China will have tripled their militaty in that time.

It appalls me it has taken the coalition how many years of government to figure this out?
@tinkertailor7385 Says:
And what are we fighting to defend? A debauched bureaucratic elite and their favored Corporate mates? That's about all.
Remember Covid showed us that the entire bureaucracy and political class considers private and free enterprise to be Non Essential.
Pointless fighting for these people. Win, lose or draw. You're still going to be Non Essential.

Two things the defence are good at
Blowing out project timeframes
Blowing out project budgets
They're not even great at killing people (the taliban that is)

How about to build new dam,buy hospital equipment,more money for heavy diseases,investment in education but no we are going to do virtually donations raising money and your job is making more enemies and buying more weapons that are late and useless against your imaginary rivals.
What you should work on it is trading,jobs,friendship and innovation things that you the politicians are not capable of achieving.

Potato head is reportedly worth 300 million dollars if that is the case how did he get the time to amass that kind of money whilst being a career politician.
Especially in my opinion when every portfolio he has supposedly managed becomes a vicious mess.

Where will we volunteer to fight the enemy?
The army is too small and we have primitive weapons.

The liberals have nothing going for them during next year's election. The only thing they can do is play the Defence card.
@setildes Says:
They have to get rid of CASG, all of the other reviews ("first principles" being one) all failed because of the public servants who know they will not have jobs when procurement is fixed. Thanks to CASG our troops are always armed with last year's (or the last generation) model of equipment and it is never supported properly, no spares, no missiles, wrong transport, no refueling capability, no fuel, unsupportable local modifications (Collins, AWD, M1A1 BMS, LHD, Helicopters, Landing craft) and using contract labour rather than the OEM to do maintenance (often very badly). All of the formal reviews define the common sense fixes but they never get implemented.

As a person who used much of what was procured. Let me tell you the civilians in defence ef it up at every level. Corruption is rife in the public service. I always loved fitted for not with. Get the civies out of defence, recruiting more personal would be much cheaper. That Polly had it right with union greed and interference we couldn't build a canoe.

As if they could do anything, the next 10 years the adf will be fighting bushfires, cleaning up storm damage and the leadership is 2nd rate at best
They lack momentum. Dutton is not the right person you really want there, he is talking himself into the abyss
He is useless
And who's money is he spending with and for what.

Australia once made their own Bombers. Ballistic missiles developed in Australia.
Quite a number of nuclear bombs were tested on Australian soil.
Why in 2021 is Australia reliant on foreign powers for defence equipment.
