Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Sky News earlier this month he was “actively considering” ordering an inquiry following a meeting with the mothers of five men who took their own life following ADF service.
A petition – started by June Anne Finney whose son David died earlier this year – has been signed by more than 250,000 people.“I’m on the public record saying I don’t think a royal commission is the right way to go and my focus is on implementing all the changes that I’ve commissioned to do through the transformation program to see those improvements I can make on a daily basis,” the minister said.
