Australias Defense Department Undergoes Major Reforms: New Agency to Tackle Project Delays and Cost OverrunsThe Australian Defense Department is undergoing its largest reform in fifty years, with the creation of a new, independent defense delivery agency to address significant project delays and cost overruns. The agency will consolidate three existing departments and be led by a national armaments director. The reforms aim to ensure increased defense spending translates into programs delivered on time and within budget, with no job cuts expected. However, critics like Angus Taylor and David Shoebridge have raised concerns about accountability and the effectiveness of the reforms. Meanwhile, the defense department is monitoring a Chinese military task group in the Philippine Sea.
