Score
SCORE: 75/100
Rubric
Australia score: 75/100
Score: 0/100
Defence purchases are rarely (if ever) made public, even though an aggregate total spend may be disclosed.
Score: 25/100
Some defence purchases are not made public, and there is no security justification as to why this information is withheld.
Score: 50/100
Some defence purchases are not made public. Security or confidentiality is often given as a reason for such secrecy but this is partly, but not fully, justified.
Score: 75/100
Defence purchases are made public with almost no exceptions. Most of the information listed in score 4 is released, but some information is in aggregate or abbreviated form.
Score: 100/100
Defence purchases are made public in detail, with almost no exceptions. Very little data from the tender/contract is redacted for national security reasons. For both confidential and non-confidential purchases, there is disclosure of the tender and the contract award. For the contract, there is a description of the item purchased, the winning bidder, the beneficial owners, price paid, whole of lifecycle costs, cost of servicing, costs of parts, and delivery/completion date.
