Security under review
Defence will conduct a review into defence base security in light of the method of attack contemplated by the alleged terror cell apprehended in Melbourne on Tuesday.
The review will be conducted by the Chief Security Officer with representation from the services, Defence Support Group and Attorney-General’s Department.
Defence maintains a framework of protective security measures to safeguard Defence people and installations. This consists of a range of physical and personnel security measures coupled with intelligence to provide a layered response to mitigate threats.
However the Government has decided, given the circumstances, it is appropriate to review current measures.
An initial assessment of the current adequacy of base security arrangements will be finalised this month.
