Defence's R&D arm (Defence Science & Technology Organisation, DSTO) had their budget increased by 138M for 2011-2013 and approved workforce increases to 2600 staff. Most of them are real scientists, engineers and technicians who do have a fascination with technology relevant to our region. The majority of scientists are not focused on last minute solutions (sometimes to the frustration of operational services). Australia's defence tech industry would also strongly disagree.
