(1) What is the government’s policy on the disclosure of details to the public and media regarding soldiers wounded in Afghanistan.

(2) While the numerical total of soldiers wounded in Afghanistan is disclosed, have there been instances wherein the details about the timing and nature of those wounds has remained ambiguous; if so, can an explanation be provided.

(3) Will the Minister retroactively correct the public record as to how and when each individual was wounded.

(4) Does there need to be a greater level of transparency on the reporting of Australian Defence Force casualties.
