Defence: Strategic Reform Program

(Question No. 742)

Senator Johnston asked the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, upon notice, on 5 July 2011:

For the period 1 January to 30 June 2011, what specific savings have been made in the Strategic Reform Program 'Other Savings' for the following areas:

   (a) zero based budgeting review;

   (b) minor capital program;

   (c) facilities program;

   (d) administrative; and

   (e) productivity.

Senator Chris Evans: The Minister for Defence has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:

Strategic Reform Program (SRP) savings are tracked, reported and managed on a stream-by-stream basis, they are not broken up by sub-category of productivity, one-offs or other descriptors. The Strategic Reform Program (SRP) savings achieved per reform stream in the 2010-11 financial year are still being finalised. The Department will publish the stream cost reductions achieved under SRP in the Defence Annual Report which is expected to be released in late 2011.
