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 – Military Workforce’: For the period 1 July to 30 September 2009, what increase or reduction has there been in full‑time equivalent personnel employed from the 2008 to 2009 base.

The workforce data detailed in the White Paper and the Strategic Reform Program ‘Indicative Workforce Implications’ are based on approved allocations at the time of publication and reflect full-time equivalent average numbers.
Over the period 1 July to 30 September 2009, Defence was employing 56,672 full-time equivalent-average uniformed personnel which is 1,924 (3.5%) higher than the 2008-09 base as detailed in the ‘Indicative Workforce Implications – Military Workforce’ table.
