I found the number of similarities to the Brereton report, in the nature of the allegations, terminology and the complete isolation of the chain of command from any responsibility to be striking as well as disturbing.
I think that the sub-text of Mr Hastie’s comments in this weekend’s newspaper is very revealing.
