The Annapolis US Naval Academy is a fully accredited independent university. The Colorado Springs Air Force Academy where the air force is trained is a fully accredited independent university. It is the same with West Point. It is also the same with the French and the Germans. We need to have that intellectual tradition established in order that we can formulate proper defence planning and strategic planning to address the threats that arise.

Finally, in relation to transformational culture, I look forward to the report of the judge-led inquiry on issues around sexual harassment and sexual violence as they apply to both female and male members of the Defence Forces.
