A hidden camera was discovered in female-only facilities on the Australian Royal Navy ship HMAS Leeuwin while docked in Cairns, Queensland. The incident has prompted Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie to call for an independent investigation, stating that Defence should not handle the matter internally. Senator Lambie, a former army member, argued that Defence has failed to address a culture of inappropriate behaviour and that an independent body is necessary to properly investigate such incidents. She noted that others have come forward with similar reports over recent months, indicating a pattern of behaviour that requires systemic change. Federal Minister Anika Wells also condemned the discovery, expressing concern for those affected and emphasizing that workplace safety is paramount. Defence has launched an internal investigation, referring the matter to the Joint Military Police Unit, and stated that it takes the incident 'extremely seriously' and does not tolerate unacceptable behaviour. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about workplace safety and the handling of misconduct within the Australian Defence Force, particularly regarding gender-based issues. Senator Lambie's call for an independent probe underscores the need for external oversight to ensure accountability and prevent future incidents. The discovery of the recording device in shower facilities has raised significant alarm, with officials stressing the importance of protecting personnel from tech-facilitated abuse, especially against women. The Defence statement confirmed ongoing support for affected individuals and a commitment to addressing the issue through proper channels. This case follows a series of similar incidents that have been reported in the military, suggesting a broader issue that requires urgent attention and reform within Defence protocols.
