The Australian Defence Force has redacted details of a document obtained by the ABC on ‘national security grounds’.
The document, which was obtained using Freedom of Information, confirmed there are two major projects on the Defence’s ‘concerns list’, including the MRH90 helicopters and the deployable Defence Air Traffic Management and Control System.
Australian Strategic Policy Institute senior fellow Andrew Davies believes defence is becoming more secretive, saying it’s hard to see how things like project schedules and budgets are of importance to national security.
