My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, Senator Payne. At estimates, I asked the Chief of Army about the issues at the Sydney University Regiment. Since then I've heard more stories about young cadets and Army reservists training to be officers being pushed around and harassed by older officers who think they own the joint. Is the Minister for Defence confident that the next cohort of 18- and 19-year-old gap-year officer cadets and Army reservists who go through the Sydney University Regiment will be safe from abuse, illegal room searches and other unacceptable behaviour from the hierarchy?
