Chief of the Defence Force and Secretary for Defence Initiate Fact Finding Team on Detainee Issues
The Secretary for Defence, Mr Ric Smith, and the Chief of the Defence Force, General Peter Cosgrove, have appointed a departmental officer to lead a fact-finding and information gathering team on Iraqi detainee issues. The team will gather all relevant facts and information in the possession of the Australian Defence Organisation regarding detainee issues arising out of coalition activities in Iraq from the post-conflict phase in May 2003. The team will also identify and address any issues which remain outstanding from the Senate Legislation Committee hearings of 31 May 04 to 1 June 04. The team will provide as full a report as possible before the next sittings of Parliament on 15 June 04.
