THE Federal Government could be forced to apologise and pay millions of dollars after at least 775 credible claims of sexual and other abuse emerged against the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA).
A royal commission may also be ordered to investigate the claims, which date back to 1951 – including one man now aged in his 70s who was 13 when allegedly abused.
Allegations cover the full spectrum of military activities from training, normal duties, deployment, hospitalisation and range from serious criminal allegations to minor abuse.
About $6.2 million was spent on a review of abuse in the wake of last April’s Australian Defence Force Academy Skype sex scandal by law firm DLA Piper, which received complaints from more than 1000 people and was unable to deal with dozens more.
Defence Minister Stephen Smith described the findings as “frank and sober” and said all options for a response – including a judicial inquiry – were “on the table”.
Defence will test the allegations and Attorney-General Nicola Roxon, who has a copy of the report, is giving “detailed consideration” to the government’s response.
Another $6 million was spent on reports released by the Government yesterday – including a secret inquiry by lawyer Andrew Kirkham QC.
The report is a slap in the face for Mr Smith, as it exonerates the commandant of ADFA, Navy Commodore Bruce Kafer. Mr Smith last year publicly attacked Commodore Kafer for his handling of the scandal after a female cadet was secretly filmed having consensual sex with a male cadet. Two male cadets were charged and the commandant stood down. He has been on leave since last April.
The inquiry found only minor administrative faults by the officer and he will return to the academy this week.
Defence Chief General David Hurley said it was correct to stand the Commodore down, but he regretted the process had taken so long.
He also admitted there were cultural problems around the issue of women in the forces.
“At times there are people who don’t get what we are about,” General Hurley said.
Mr Smith did not back down from his comments at the time, including that Commodore Kafer’s conduct was “inappropriate, insensitive and wrong and faulty at law”.
“I don’t resile one iota from anything I said or did at the time,” Mr Smith said
Commodore Kafer yesterday said he was proud to resume his duties.
