I thank the Minister for his reply and the work that has been done to date. However, the report states:

The reported practices appear to have created a lack of trust in leadership. This emerges strongly from the Perceptions and Experiences survey (2022) and the Benchmarking Report (2022) data which show that 50% of survey respondents are either ‘very dissatisfied’ or ‘somewhat dissatisfied’ with people senior to them.

There are 13 recommendations in chapter 4 of the report that was published and I am wondering how many of them have been carried out to date. The Minister referred to the legislation and some of the recommendations require legislative change. However, with respect to the ones that do not, how many of them have been put in place to ensure members the Defence Forces are satisfied with the job they are in?
