Kokoda Papers #3: National Security Community 2020: Six Practical Recommendations for the Australian Government (2007) By David Connery
 
The Australian Government has done well to adapt its structures, instruments, processes and legislation for national security policymaking since 2001. However, more changes will be needed if the system is to remain relevant in the increasingly demanding and complex security environment of the next decade.
 
This Kokoda Paper - which has been developed in consultation with experts inside the Australian Government, the states, business, not-for-profit groups and academia - examines national security policymaking in Australia and proposes six recommendations to develop a 'national security community'. The recommendations include a proposal to examine the method for creating a national security strategy; changes to the division of ministerial responsibility between the Attorney General and his 'junior minister' ; a suggestion to create an operational strategy that integrates national power; measures to improve training and education for national security professionals; new 'national security outreach officers'; and a crisis coordination centre for domestic security incidents.
