Abstract
9/11 produced significant changes to the US intelligence community, while for the most part the attacks only resulted in incremental ‘tinkering’ or evolutionary change of the Australian intelligence community (AIC). Fast forward to 2017 however, a combination of variables, including most importantly a recent independent intelligence review of the AIC is ushering in potentially transformative change to the Community. This paper examines how the 2017 Independent Intelligence Review has created the momentum for significant change in the AIC and what governance challenges are likely to result from reform initiatives flowing from the Review. The paper also investigates whether the current AIC reform agenda is truly transformative and if it is also likely to result in a more effective, coordinated and integrated intelligence community.
