I think it was an attempt for a bit of sneaky recruiting by the ADF

Personally i am more concerned with the “leaked to the media” aspect and the subsequent “running with it” by the media.

I presume the taxpayer has funded the settlement via Govt funds to ADF.

If something inappropriate is suspected of happening and is reported to ADF officials for investigation – then that investigation should be allowed to take place. If the allegation is proved then and only then should the media be allowed to “spread the news”. If it is not proven, then that should be the end of the matter – no damage to anyone’s reputation and no expensive pay out – money which could have been spent on more worthy things.

“The allegations were made in a Defence document that was sent to Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon in May 2008 and leaked to the media”

Let’s hope that their research is a bit more accurate when it comes to actual defence/tactical matters. “Leaked to the media”… Glad it wasn’t a millitary secret or something similar instead. Are the ADF actually investigating the stuff up and subsequent leak?

This doesn’t reflect well on the ADF’s reputation and now taxpayers have to pay up. At least we get to hear about it rather than it being hushed up (maybe only thanks to the leak?)

Well, yes of course the ADF initially, but the weeks of follow up “rumours” were equally damaging.

Trashed so badly by the “gossip” pages mikey, not the ADF.
Perhaps professional liars need to fork over some of their apparent “hard earned”

Yeh, agreed. She should receive 5 mill minimum… Especially since she was trashed so badly by the “gossip” pages during that time.
