Qld on hunt for defence sector business

THE Queensland government is sending out its own commando unit to hunt down business in the lucrative defence sector.

With a 26 per cent share of national defence industry activity, Queensland is already the second-biggest state for defence employment and home to a quarter of Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel.

Premier Campbell Newman says the new Defence Industries Queensland (DIQ) unit will build on this.

"DIQ's approach will be shaped by future defence strategies and long-term procurement needs, growing a globally competitive industry," he told reporters.

The premier also announced the appointment of Lindsay Pears as the state's first Defence Industries Envoy.

Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney said DIQ will guide businesses which are interested in land, sea and air defence projects, border protection and national or international security.

"Whether you want to be in the defence industry or are a defence multinational, Queensland is the place to be," Mr Seeney said.

The new DIQ unit will employ three staff redeployed from the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning.
