Senator Johnston asked the Minister for Defence, upon notice, on 11 January 2010:
For the period 1 July to 30 September 2009, what was the total expenditure spent on recruiting.
Senator Faulkner - The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:
The total direct expenditure by Defence Force Recruiting on recruitment into the Australian Defence Force in the period 1 July to 30 September 2009 was $25.309m.
Whilst ceremonial activities and community based activities have an indirect benefit to recruitment, they are not classified as direct recruitment costs and as such are not included in these costs.
