ministers are going to receive monthly reports so that those ministers can put those projects back on track. And we are going to have an independent project office within the Department of Defence. In short, we're going to manage defence procurement properly so that we have value for money for Australian taxpayers. That's because it's not just how much you spend on defence it is the quality of that spend which will build the capabilities for this country and which will keep Australians safe.
