Abstract

This submission advocates in view of the 50 previous reports, with 750 recommendations since 2000 and the ad hoc, piecemeal changes making an already complex system more burdened after 40 years it is time to repeal the Defence Force Discipline Act 1982 and look at an entirely fresh approach. This is advocated in light of the High Court Private R v Cowen decision and the changing environment in which military members are comprised of an all-volunteer and defence civilian workforce operating in complex multi-force foreign conflicts and internal domestic domains both in security scenarios e.g. border force and community events such as the pandemic and climate episodes. Firsthand accounts from members to this author describe the lifelong stress and dysfunction caused because of the military discipline system.
