What is a Hot Issue Brief?
A Hot Issue Brief provides initial and early advice to Ministers and Defence senior leaders on sensitive or complex matters or incidents that may require their immediate attention.
Due to the immediacy of preparation of Hot Issue Briefs, the advice provided can sometimes prove to be inaccurate or require further clarification once the situation has stabilised.
Hot Issue Briefs do not represent the full and complete facts associated with an incident or issue. This should be borne in mind in reading Hot Issue Briefs.
Public Release of Hot Issue Briefs
The Black Review of the Defence Accountability Framework challenged Defence to enhance individual and collective accountability.
Placing on the public record Defence's advice to the Minister for Defence on these issue - including instances of inappropriate behaviour - is a part of that accountability.
From 20 January 2012, Hot Issue Briefs will be released on the Defence Website, usually within one week after submission to the Minister. The only exceptions to that rule will be individually and personally approved by the Secretary of the Department of Defence or the Chief of the Defence Force, and based solely on criteria that public release would:
- endanger operational outcomes,
- prejudice legal proceedings, or
- impede or frustrate ADF Investigative Service or civil police investigations.
obviously the coalition prefer using the mushroom management method
atheism is a non prophet organization
