My question is for the Minister representing the Attorney-General. After four years and with well-resourced staff and access, Major General Brereton found that a number of issues and rumours of war crimes emerged from Special Operations Command after Operation Slipper concluded in 2014. Consistent media reporting and evidence before a defamation trial showed that such rumours were prevalent in Special Operations Command and through the chain of command well before 2014. Is the minister confident that Major General Brereton in his new role as the head of the National Anti-Corruption Commission can sit on corruption matters involving Defence and senior ADF officers free of any apprehended bias and apparent conflict of interest?
