A Department of the Seven

Security

Defence & Sovereignty. National security, borders, and foreign relations under one roof — the ADF rebuilt around conventional capability, the intelligence agencies unified, and immigration set by an economic-need formula.

Minister for Security

What Security covers

Security consolidates defence, intelligence, borders and foreign relations into a single department — ending the overlap and turf wars between competing agencies. Defence is rebuilt around sovereign, conventional capability; the four intelligence agencies answer to one chief; and the two-year National Construction Service is administered here.

Defence (ADF)The operational core. The Minister sets policy; the Chief of the Defence Force commands operations.
Unified intelligenceASIO, ASIS, ASD and ONI under a single Director of National Intelligence — one function, not four competing baronies.
Borders & biosecurityHome Affairs and the Australian Border Force consolidated; border patrol as a dedicated capability.
Foreign affairs & tradeFocused on the Pacific and South-East Asia — our own region first.
ImmigrationManaged through an economic-need formula — no standalone immigration department.
Law & policingThe Attorney-General's Department and the Australian Federal Police.
