Drain the Defence Swamp
A Blueprint for Weapons Acquisition Reform
How to FIX every Product Development to be more Affordable, Producible and Problem-Free
Have you ever wondered HOW we ended up commissioning the French Submarine?
Have you ever wondered WHAT alternatives were considered instead?
Have you ever wanted to know what REALLY goes on behind the closed doors of Defence Weapons Acquisitions – a process on which the defence of our nation depends, and one which is worth billions of dollars each year?
… When you read this book, you will understand the processes and thinking that have previously mystified you about Defence Weapons Acquisition. You will also understand why nothing ever changes, and you may choose to add your voice to the discussion.
Drain the Innovation Swamp
A Blueprint for Innovation System Reform
How to FIX Innovation to Create & Execute a Constantly Evolving New Customer Line
Australia spends approximately $30 billion each year on innovation – and yet after twenty years of effort we are still the worst-ranking nation in the OECD for Commercialisation of Innovation.
How can this be?
Where does all that money go?
Why don’t we reap the positive economic results of all this expenditure?
The second book in Gary’s controversial “Drain the Swamp” Series answers these questions and many more. You may not like the answers.
The “Innovation Fraternity” does not want you to hear them.
Members of the Establishment will tell you they have never heard any of this… with good reason.
“It is only now that I have retired that am free to expose the nakedness of both the Emperor, and his Sacred Cows.”

Drain the Incompetence Swamp
A Blueprint for Reform
How to Reform Industry, Bureaucracy, & Politics to Transform our Economy and Society
Drain the Incompetence Swamp is a bold call for fundamental change in our leadership and systems from one of Australia’s most experienced organisational and operational systems facilitators. This book bluntly demonstrates the endemic level of leadership incompetence in Australia and the systems that support it which has brought us to our current state.
However, this level of incompetence does not exist in a vacuum… it is a team sport resulting from passive acceptance of mediocre outcomes by people over long periods of time.
The GOOD NEWS is that these problems can be permanently fixed using proven processes and systems. The BAD NEWS is that fixing these problems will demand a willingness to confront brutal realities and make fundamental changes with fierce determination.Are you up for the challenge?
Restart Australia
A Blueprint for Economic and Social Reform
A 10-year Easily-Executable Design to Transform the Future of our Nation’s Economy and Society
Restart Australia builds on the principles and analysis of the previous three books dealing with Defence Weapons’ Acquisition, Innovation, and Organisational Incompetence. Beginning with a brutal assessment of Australia’s current standing in the global economy and the reasons for this dismal performance, Gary goes on to provide a way forward that will deliver the social and economic results we want.
“This change will take courage and commitment, but it will also deliver the country we want to live in… and the country we want children and their children to enjoy.”
