Professional Military Education in Australia: Has it All Gone Terribly Right? Dr David Cox and Dr Andrew O’Neil Abstract In this article we discuss the contemporary challenges facing the delivery of Professional Military Education (PME) in Australia. Rather than criticising the current state of PME, we believe it is more productive to explore how positive outcomes can be secured within the constraints facing decision- makers over the next five to ten years. PME should, we argue, be regarded as an umbrella term that incorporates a much broader set of defence and security related educational processes and outcomes. Chief of the Defence Force (CDF), Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, recently announced a review into Joint Education and Training. Our intention is to discuss PME issues within the context of the historical development of Defence’s key PME provider in Australia—the Australian Defence College—and in so doing offer some points relevant to CDF’s review.

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.

    Questions on Notice from Additional Estimates Hearing 22 February 2002

    LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION COMMITTEE EXAMINATION OF ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES 2001 – 2002 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION VOLUME 3 IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AND INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS PORTFOLIO Additional Information Relating to the Examination of Expenditure 2001 – 2002 May 2002 Attachments to Question Nos. 59, 72, 78 and 99 are not available electronically - please call the Secretariat on (02) 6277 3560 if you require copies. QUESTION TAKEN ON NOTICE ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES HEARING: 19 and 22 February 2002 IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AND INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS PORTFOLIO (30) Output 1.3: Enforcement of Immigration Law Senator Ray (L&C 269) asked Senator Ellison to ask Mr Ruddock where he got confirmation on what he had been informed (on 7 October). Answer: Mr Ruddock’s office has advised that the Office of National Assessments (ONA) report was taken as confirmation of the Department’s advice on 7 October 2001 that children had been thrown overboard. No other advice, written or oral, was received to either confirm or refute the initial advice from the Taskforce and the subsequent ONA report. QUESTION TAKEN ON NOTICE ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES HEARING: 19 and 22 February 2002 IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AND INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS PORTFOLIO (31) Output 1.3: Enforcement of Immigration Law Senator Cooney (L&C 230) asked, “ When these matters (28-day time limit to appeal to the Court) came on before the Court, did the Department take the bar as a defence to the action? Was the bar argued? Was the time limit argued in the court case?” Answer: Applications lodged outside the 28 day period are invalid and the Federal Court is unable to extend time by the terms of s477(2) of the Migration Act (previously s478(2)).
