Well, generally I agree with you.
The recent address by Lt. General Morrison to the UN Conference on Rape in War and the infamous
YouTube address by Lt. Gen. David Morrison on "Unacceptable Behavior" shows that the attitude of the commanders has at least publicly changed. However, there is the problem of the organisation itself which seems to be rather lagging behind in it's disciplining of the perpetrators. General David Hurley's performance on the recent 4 Corners programme IMHO left something to be desired.
Quote:Show me where the ADF, not just some individuals, but the ADF itself sanction this behaviour, if you can't then I suggest you try a less stupid approach.
Perhaps you'd care to show us the ADF's sanctions against the individuals who have committed these abuses and rapes? They appear to be somewhat absent from my radar.
The ADF is changing, as an organisation. It's attitude is undergoing a transformation. Unfortunately it would appear the attitudes of many in the ADF appear to be somewhat lagging behind the institutional change which is occurring. Either they will shape up or they will ship out, however the commitment to the change will only be perceivable by how fast the institutional response is and what it is to the allegations as they are revealed by these inquiries which are presently ongoing.
As the recent revelations about HMS Leeuwin have revealed, there has been a long ongoing rot in the ranks. Hopefully cleaning it out won't be as difficult as cleaning the Augean stables.
I will answer you question while ignoring HB stupid responce.
The ADF does not prosecute crime covered by civilian statutes only military crimes, so you will never see any information on this matter in the military courts. Anyone in the ADF committing this type of crime is dealt with by the police as a civilian crime.
If the police choose not to prosecute the crime, then it is not because the ADF 'told' them to 'leave it alone'. The police prosecute ADF members for all sorts of civilian infrctions. Maybe the right of justice applies to ADF memebers the same as anyone else. There are not separate statistice for individual careers as far as Im aware.
But as I have mention previously, the recruiting pool for the ADF is pretty polluted so, unfortunately this will be an ongoing problem while the average civilain male is such a scumbag POS rapist type, themselves.
