The Herald Sun understands the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet has completed its review into the way Australia’s intelligence, law enforcement and defence organisations interact.

The report will be handed to the PM any day, but it’s understood it does not contain a ­specific recommendation to establish a super department.

The review was launched in July after concerns agencies had not reacted quickly enough to advise Prime Minister Tony Abbott about the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine, with the loss of 38 Australian lives.

One of the proposals considered was establishing a super department run by a ­single minister, similar to the quasi-military Operation Sovereign Borders anti-people-smuggling program run by Immigration Minister Scott Morrison.

It would have pulled organisations including ASIO, the Australian Federal Police, ASIS, the Australian Crime Commission and potentially Defence into one massive ­department.

But the Government seemed to cool on the idea after several senior ministers viewed it as a power grab by Mr Morrison and detrimental to their own portfolios.

Those who stood to lose the most under the arrangement were Defence Minister David Johnston, Attorney-General George Brandis, Justice Minister Michael Keenan and, to a lesser extent, Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop.

Mr Abbott has always ­refused to say whether or not the mega-department would go ahead, instead asking ­people to wait for the results of the review. On Wednesday he said he expected to receive it in the next few days.

The Sydney siege has sparked another review into the way agencies interact. Mr Abbott expects to receive the second review by the end of January.

Meanwhile, the federal and NSW probes will be examined by the Victorian Government to see if there are lessons for the state’s justice system.
