Australia delays selling Defence real estate properties until 2025 amid public backlash concerns.

The Australian government has delayed plans to sell properties from its Defence real estate portfolio until 2025 or later, following concerns over public backlash regarding strategic military sites. Defence Minister Richard Marles received an audit in December 2021 and initially aimed to respond in mid-2022. Critics from the Coalition and Greens accuse the government of indecisiveness. The response may be postponed for over 18 months, affecting properties like Victoria Barracks in Sydney.
