    Senate Economics References Committee’s inquiry into the future of Australia’s naval shipbuilding industry Queensland Government response February 2017 Executive summary The Queensland Government welcomes the Senate Economics References Committee’s inquiry into the future sustainability of Australia’s strategically vital naval shipbuilding industry (the inquiry), and identifies a strong ability and capacity to contribute effectively to this sector. Increasingly, Queensland is recognised as the ‘go-to’ state for defence (and other security service provision). Queensland’s defence industry supports more than 6500 full time equivalent jobs. In 2015–16, $3.8 billion in defence contracts were awarded to Queensland-based companies (an increase of $200 million from the previous financial year). The Queensland Government understands there are significant economic and industry development opportunities through the: development of contracts relating to naval ship and submarine building design, management and implementation of naval shipbuilding and submarine defence procurement projects in Queensland utilisation of local content and supply chains integration of offshore work and supply chains in Queensland driving of innovation, improving workforce and business skills and building on our competitive advantages to ensure Queensland remains an attractive investment destination.

There are a number of Reserve and Cadet units currently located in the ACT. The Navy and Air Force units are located at HMAS Harman and RAAF Fairbairn respectively. The Army Reserve units and Army Cadets are located at the Werriwa Training Depot in Allara Street, Civic. The requirement to develop a Multi User Depot (MUD) includes: • the closure of RAAF Fairbairn and the need for the units accommodated at Fairbairn to be relocated by May 2004, and • the future disposal of the Werriwa Training Depot in Civic. OBJECTIVE 2. The objective of this proposal is to provide facilities at HMAS Harman, ACT, for a Multi User Depot for a RAAF Regular Unit, and various Defence Reserve and Cadet units. It will concentrate Reserve and Cadet units, provide accommodation for the Units which will vacate RAAF Fairbairn and provide generally improved training and administrative facilities which will realise savings in the operating costs of these Units.

    We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air

    We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly. The Australian Fleet Air Arm: A Comparative Operational Study. This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2016 Sharron Lee Spargo BA (Hons) Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis examines a small component of the Australian Navy, the Fleet Air Arm. Naval aviators have been contributing to Australian military history since 1914 but they remain relatively unheard of in the wider community and in some instances, in Australian military circles. Aviation within the maritime environment was, and remains, a versatile weapon in any modern navy but the struggle to initiate an aviation branch within the Royal Australian Navy was a protracted one. Finally coming into existence in 1947, the Australian Fleet Air Arm operated from the largest of all naval vessels in the post battle ship era; aircraft carriers. HMAS Albatross, Sydney, Vengeance and Melbourne carried, operated and fully maintained various fixed-wing aircraft and the naval personnel needed for operational deployments until 1982. These deployments included contributions to national and multinational combat, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. With the Australian government’s decision not to replace the last of the aging aircraft carriers, HMAS Melbourne, in 1982, the survival of the Australian Fleet Air Arm, and its highly trained personnel, was in grave doubt. This was a major turning point for Australian Naval Aviation; these versatile flyers and the maintenance and technical crews who supported them retrained on rotary aircraft, or helicopters, and adapted to flight operations utilising small compact ships.

    DEFENCE ANNUAL REPORT 2001-02 HEADLINE RESULTS FOR 2001-02 Operational S Defence met the Government’s highest priority tasks through: effectively contributing to the international coalition against terrorism playing a major role in assisting East Timor in its transition to independence strengthening Australia’s border security increasing the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) counter-terrorism capability providing substantial assistance to the Bougainville and Solomon Islands’ peace processes supporting civil agencies in curbing illegal fishing in Australian waters. S The ADF was at its highest level of activity since the Vietnam war. Social S 86 per cent of Australians said they were proud of the ADF – the highest figure recorded over the past 20 years. 85 per cent believed the ADF is effective and 87 per cent considered the ADF is well trained. Unacceptable behaviour in the ADF continued to be the community’s largest single concern. (Defence community attitudes tracking, April 2002) S ADF recruiting: Enlistments were up, Separations were down, Army Reserve retention rates were the highest for 40 years. S The new principles-based civilian certified agreement formally recognised a balance between employees’ work and private commitments. S Intake of 199 graduate trainees was highest ever. S Defence was awarded the Australian Public Sector Diversity Award for 2001. HEADLINE RESULTS FOR 2001-02 Financial S Defence recorded a net surplus of $4,410 million (before the Capital Use Charge of $4,634 million), when compared to the revised budget estimate of $4,772 million.

    The Establishment of the Joint Australia-United States Relay Ground Station at Pine Gap

    HIDING FROM THE LIGHT: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE JOINT AUSTRALIA-UNITED STATES RELAY GROUND STATION AT PINE GAP The NAPSNet Policy Forum provides expert analysis of contemporary peace and security issues in Northeast Asia. As always, we invite your responses to this report and hope you will take the opportunity to participate in discussion of the analysis. Recommended Citation Richard Tanter, "HIDING FROM THE LIGHT: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE JOINT AUSTRALIA- UNITED STATES RELAY GROUND STATION AT PINE GAP", NAPSNet Policy Forum, November 02, 2019, https://nautilus.org/napsnet/napsnet-policy-forum/hiding-from-the-light-the-establis- ment-of-the-joint-australia-united-states-relay-ground-station-at-pine-gap/ RICHARD TANTER 1 NOVEMBER 2, 2019 I. INTRODUCTION In this essay, the author discusses recently released Australian cabinet papers dealing with a decision in September 1997 to allow the establishment of a Joint Australia-United States Relay Ground Station at Pine Gap to support two United States early warning satellite systems in place of its predecessor, the Joint Space Communications Facility at Nurrungar. The cabinet papers give a picture, albeit one muddied by censorship, of the Howard government’s consideration of ‘a U.S. request to continue Australian involvement in a U.S. space technological system to provide the U.S. with not only early warning of missile attack as a basis of nuclear deterrence, but also the capacity to target a retaliatory nuclear strike in the most effective way as part of a nuclear war-fighting capability. There is little evidence in these documents that senior ministers and their advisors considered these matters with any seriousness.’ The report is also published as a PDF file (1MB) here.
