That is a fair point. I am mindful of the report’s conclusions about the resistance. The Chief of Staff has committed to change and reform. We will quickly develop legislation to appoint an independent external complaints process. That has to happen. Interim steps will be taken to facilitate complaints directly to the Ombudsman, which can happen now and does not have to wait for a month any more, and to establish an oversight body on a statutory basis. That body will be completely external to the Defence Forces and will oversee the reform and culture change required.
