Senior executives working for a large US-owned defence company helping to establish a missile production enterprise in Australia have resigned amid tensions with the Albanese government over the multi-billion-dollar project.
An American defence company chosen to help set up a missile production enterprise in Australia has removed senior figures from its local business following tensions with the Albanese government over the multi-billion-dollar project.
"After 24 years of service, Michael Ward has retired from the company. While we conduct an extensive search for his replacement, Ohad Katz will serve as interim managing director," Mr Nijhon said. "We will also take the opportunity to strengthen our culture by living our values, building trust, demonstrating respect, holding each other accountable, and affirming our focus on innovation and collaboration across the business".
However, defence and industry sources say for the past year Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy has grown increasingly frustrated with Raytheon Australia's approach to GWEO, particularly not cooperating with the Terms of Trade.
