31 AUSTRALIAN PHILOSOPHY Australia needs its own independent and robust intelligence assessment and collection capability. Assessment separate from policy formulation. Collection separate from assessment Collection of human and signals intelligence undertaken by different agencies. ONA - principal assessment agency for foreign intelligence, with statutory independence.

32 Post Flood Report 2011 Cornall/Black (IRIC) Aust experience Contrasts with 9-11 Commission

33 Intelligence Services Act 29 Sep 2001 Legislative basis for ASIS & ASD (vice executive order) Increased powers to collection agencies (ASIO, ASIS & DSD) Establishment of PJCIS (vice PJCAAD)

34 Philip Flood 2004 East Timor? War in Iraq DIO v ONA? WMD? Political Interference? (Benign assessment due to transformative work under Hope)

49 Review of Australia s CT Machinery (I) (Post Martin place & Melbourne Attack 2014) The Commonwealth has strong, well-coordinated counter-terrorism (CT) arrangements. Overall, these have been quite successful A restructure or reshuffle of national security agencies is not the answer. But more must be done to strengthen cross-agency coordination and leadership.

50 Review of Australia s CT Machinery (I) (Post Martin place & Melbourne Attack 2014)

51 Review of Australia s CT Machinery (Post Martin place & Melbourne Attack 2014) Recommendations: Dev new CT strategy Boost CVE activities AG focus on community & public-private partnerships Boost ASIO, ASIS, AFP, ONA, IGIS

52

53 June 2017 IIR: Key Recommendations 1. Creation of ONI: sensible and graduated move to subsume ONA and provide a greater central mechanism for the national coordination of intelligence affairs New name is more clearly recognisable as the peak intelligence body 2. Establishment of a joint intelligence capability management function 3. ASD established as a statutory body within DoD on par with the heads of ASIO and ASIS 4. Australian Cyber Security Centre bolstered 5. IGIS remit expanded: to cover agencies not previously counted (6 to 10 ) an important step to render the newer intelligence organisations subject to oversight by the IGIS. 6. PJCIS slightly expanded, operationally oriented role to request briefings and initiate inquiries. Overall, the recommendations are sound. The review is well considered, timely & reasonable. L Estrange, Merchant and Lobban deserve to be congratulated

54 Department of Home Affairs 18 July 2017 PM announced reforms & establishing Dept of Home Affairs DHA officially stood up 20 Dec 2017 Refs to previous functions are being progressively updated in 2018

60 UNTANGLING LINES OF REPORTING & RESPONSIBILITIES PM&C DHA AGD NSCC SCNS IGIS PJCIS DEPT OF DEFENCE HIAM INSLM WARRANTS DHA

61 DHA Concerns & Opportunities Concerns Unprecedented peacetime aggregation of power in one department Emerged w/o clear & robust justification Rivals the Dept of Defence in scope & reach Reduces contestability of advice to govt Narrows reliance for home affairs advice on a single portal to NSCC

62 DHA Concerns & Opportunities Concerns Challenges long-established practices & procedures for inter-agency coordination (Hope Reviews/IRIC/IR17) Complicates implementation of 2017 Intel Review (which doesn t mention DHA) Blurs reporting and responsibility for agencies with AGD (ASIO/AFP) AGD left with responsibility to authorize but not implement warrants Immigration lost as a titular point of focus PR & operational risks in concentration of responsibilities in one Minister & Secretary

63 DHA Concerns & Opportunities IGIS Concerns (Margaret Stone): "The independence of this office is its most important asset "To add another minister - particularly one authorising aspects of an agency's activities which are a key part of our scrutiny - is to play into not only substantive compromise of our independence but also perceived "To my mind actual and perceived independence are equally important."

64 DHA Concerns & Opportunities Opportunities Recognises risks to Australia arising from greater global interconnectedness Facilitates greater coordination of border & home (or national) security issues AUSTRAC/ACIC/AFP/ASIO Streamlines financial arrangements for home affairs operational priorities Makes border protection function more centrally controlled Enhances AFP/ABF collaboration & functional streamlining Facilitates efficiencies of scale

65 DHA Concerns & Opportunities Concerns Unprecedented peacetime aggregation of power in one department Emerged w/o clear & robust justification Rivals the Dept of Defence in scope & reach Reduces contestability of advice to govt Narrows reliance for home affairs advice on a single portal to NSCC Challenges long-established practices & procedures for inter-agency coordination (Hope Reviews/IRIC/IR17) Complicates implementation of 2017 Intel Review (which doesn t mention DHA) Blurs reporting and responsibility for agencies with AGD (ASIO/AFP) AGD left with responsibility to authorize but not implement warrants Immigration lost as a titular point of focus PR & operational risks in concentration of responsibilities in one Minister & Secretary IGIS independence challenged Opportunities Recognises risks to Australia arising from greater global interconnectedness Facilitates greater coordination of border & home (or national) security issues AUSTRAC/ACIC/AFP/ASIO Streamlines financial arrangements for home affairs operational priorities Makes border protection function more centrally controlled Enhances AFP/ABF collaboration & functional streamlining Facilitates efficiencies of scale

66 Key Concerns with DHA changes The system was working, building on decades of incremental, time-tested reforms No public document or report advocated this DHA model Trial & error reforms on the run is risky Unnecessary potential points of failure generated by ambiguous & overlapping relationships between AGD/DHA/DPM&C/IGIS etc Power unduly concentrated Major Reforms Should Emerge from Major Reviews (like Hope s reviews) Rationale Must be Better Explained Absent such rationale, we should hasten slowly
