The ADO does not exist
[edit]I'm not sure how to go about this as per your commnunity habits, but I wish to raise the issue that the Australian Defence Organisation does not exist. It's not a real thing. There is no such legal entity. It's nothing more than an industry slang or jargon used to refer to an approximate collection of public and private sector entities, and related people.
The ADF exists. The Department of Defence exists. But there is no ADO. S138008 (talk) 23:09, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- I hope I've now added sufficient citations and examples to establish that ADO or Defence is a longstanding term for the collective group, used in formal government publications back to the 90s at least (I found but didn't use oblique references dating back longer) VerneDurand (talk) 06:24, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
