Sharing of information leaves a lot to be desired

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

MANY classified information technology networks remain fragmented, are too costly and inhibit sharing of important intelligence information, a secret Australian government review has found.

But bureaucratic rivalries have slowed efforts by Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s department to reform an environment in which some national security agencies and individual intelligence analysts are ”supplicants for relevant information” that others hold.

The comprehensive review of the Australian government’s ”secret domain” found that some national security agencies had made separate arrangements, and this has inhibited ”timely transfer, assessment and transmission of time-sensitive” important information.

Some agencies have been unable to get information effectively, even within their own organisations.

The secret review was undertaken in late 2010 and early 2011 by the staff of the National Security Chief Information Officer (NSCIO) in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. A copy of the final report has been released to The Age under freedom-of-information legislation. ”A key operating principle should be that collectors of information (whether intelligence or operational agencies) have a responsibility to make information discoverable, accessible and available in a timely way,” the report says.

The final report of the secret domain review has been released with extensive redactions. These include ”sensitive information” that would ”provide hostile foreign intelligence agencies with insight into operational limitations within the secret domain”.

But the declassified copy of the report does show that the review considered consolidating the use of the private sector to provide long-distance secret communication links, possibly using a single provider.

In March the Australian government blocked Chinese IT giant Huawei from participation in the $36 billion National Broadband Network on advice from the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation.
