Surveillance Australia
Recently got the word that I will be accepted as an observer (pending security clearances) for a possie hopefully in Darwin. As for a non-Australian company getting the contract (Surveillance Australia preferred tenderer), I work currently with defence and most of the contracts are held by non- Australian contractors ie Boeing, Sikorsky, British Aerospace, Raytheon just to name a few. The bid for most Government Contracts includes a fairly large Australian content but does not have to be Australian based. They look for the corperate backing of a company so the successful tenderer wont go bust if everything goes bad!
