Defence Minister Stephen Smith has released a damning report highlighting a culture of predatory sexual behaviour and tribalism aboard the Naval supply ship HMAS Success
An independent inquiry was commissioned by Defence Force Chief Angus Houston after allegations of misconduct emerged during the ship's 2009 tour of South-East Asia and China
In tabling the first part of the report to Parliament, Mr Smith said it was "a confronting read".
"The report is not a good read. The report makes for very sorry and confronting reading about the failure of personal conduct, about the failure of discipline, and the failure of authority and the inappropriate culture aboard the Success."
