Defence: Strategic Reform Program |
Senator: Johnston | |
Senator Johnston asked the Minister for Defence, upon notice, on 11 January 2010:
With reference to the White Paper and the Strategic Reform Program ‘Indicative Workforce Implications – Civilian Workforce’: For the period 1 July to 30 September 2009, how many full‑time equivalent civilian personnel were employed in implementing the White Paper initiatives.
Senator Faulkner - The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:
The Government provisioned an additional 999 civilian personnel (including full-time equivalent Australian Public Service staff and contractors) for 2009-10 under the White Paper, as reflected in The Strategic Reform Program: Delivering Force 2030.
Because of the breadth and depth of the White Paper initiatives, the number of personnel varied throughout the specified period and it is not possible to provide a specific total referenced to each White Paper initiative.
