APCML REPORTS

Report of the 2004 External Review

According to the Agreement between the Commonwealth of Australia and University of Melbourne, signed on 17 May 2001, for the establishment and operation of the APCML, a comprehensive review of the Centre’s performance was to be carried out in its third year of operation.

In July 2004, the APCML External Review Panel was established:

  • Hon. Alastair Nicholson AO RFD, former Chief Justice of the Family Court, and former ADF Judge Advocate General
  • Ms Lydia Morton, First Assistant Secretary, North Asia Division, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)
  • Hon. Greg Hunt MP, Federal Member for Flinders and Parliamentary Secretary for Heritage and the Environment.

The Panel was required to evaluate the operation of the APCML in its first three years, to recommend whether or not the mandate of the Centre in its current form should be renewed and to make observations and recommendations regarding the collaborative nature of the Centre.

The Report by the Panel was presented to Senator Hill, Minister for Defence, and Mr Ric Smith, Secretary of Defence, and General Peter Cosgrove, Chief of Defence Force on 1 December 2004.
