Senator Bob Carr: The Minister for Defence has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question: Cost reductions under the Strategic Reform Program (SRP) are based on annual budgets. In 2011-12 the cost reduction target under the SRP is $1284 million. This will be achieved through initiatives under seven SRP streams distributed as follows: (a) Information and Communication Technologies - $147 million; (b) Smart Sustainment (including Inventory) - $370 million; (c) Logistics - $8 million; (d) Non-equipment Procurement - $207 million; (e) Reserves - $28 million; (f) Workforce and Shared Services - $238 million; and (g) Other cost reductions - $286 million. *Summation variances are due to rounding These figures have been updated since their publication in "Strategic Reform Program: Delivering Force 2030". Defence will publish the stream cost reductions achieved for the full financial year in the Defence Annual Report 2011-12 which will be released in late 2012.
