Senator Bob Carr: The Minister for Defence has provided the following response to the honourable senator's question: (a) Achievement of Savings to 30 Jun 2012. Logistics reform savings of $19.212m have been realised since 2010 under the logistics stream of the Strategic Reform Program. Further savings are anticipated following the re-tender of the Defence Integrated Distribution Services contract through efficiencies derived from consolidation of warehouses, improved and standardised layouts and improved processes enabled by improved technology. The total projected savings resulting from the Defence Logistics Transformation Program over the period 2010-2019 are $350.453m. This includes some $79.9m of savings following reform of Defence distribution processes and procedures and $100m saving from Warehousing reform. (b) One Off Savings. The savings delivered under Logistics Reform are expected to be recurring savings to operating costs, not one off savings opportunities.
