Defence chief says his warning to cadets to avoid predators was ‘misinterpreted’
The Chief of Defence says his recent comments to officer cadets on sexual assault have been “misinterpreted”, insisting he was trying to encourage the trainees to work together to protect themselves.
Key points:
- General Angus Campbell’s comments have been labelled “dangerous”
- Acting Defence Minister Marise Payne says predatory behaviour is unacceptable anywhere and anytime
- The Defence Department told The Canberra Times General Campbell wanted cadets to be aware of risk factors so they could mitigate them
General Angus Campbell has been widely criticised after reportedly warning an Australian Defence Force Academy class of cadets against being out after midnight while consuming alcohol, and presenting themselves as “attractive”.
