DMO bloat

Great budget reply speech by Abbott.

And:

Why does the Defence Materiel Organisation need 7000 bureaucrats especially when major equipment purchases are being put off?

Not to mention it's numerous and ongoing failures.

It is also significant that Joe Hockey said the same thing on the ABC program Insiders last Sunday.

Abbott's an idiot who thinks the UK's procurement and sustainment organisation has 4000 people.

It actually has over 20,000.

The DMO has exactly the same amount of bloat and inefficiency of any organisation of 7000 people.

Nice bit of evidence there, Perplexed. That's good detective work.

The problem is that it is not needed.
The Services should be reskilled and allowed to run their own race as they previously did successfully.
This monstrosity costs the taxpayer 1.3 billion a year to fail.
