The federal government will establish a new ‘tripartite’ Defence Industry Council made up of representatives from government, industry and the unions to oversee the development of a sovereign defence industrial base.

It is understood the new council would be chaired by Defence Industry minister Pat Conroy and include Industry and Science minister Ed Husic as a member.

Plans for the council were disclosed as part of government’s Defence Industry Development Strategy announcement on Thursday.
