Abstract
The military must be accountable for the treatment of its people.
IN RECENT weeks, there have been new reports about bullying in the Australian military and the alleged gang rape of a female recruit in Wagga Wagga. These continuing incidents of abuse in our Defence Force demonstrate that the Federal Government's decision to ignore a Senate inquiry's recommendations for significant overhaul of the defence judicial system is a missed opportunity.
