women armed |
 | | In a speech to the Defence Womens Network in December 1999, the Defence Secretary, Dr Allan Hawke, outlined Defences policies relating to the role of women in the ADF, including the issue of women in combat and the integration of women into the Submarine Squadron. |
 | | However, as recently reported surveys of six defence bases have confirmed, and as the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commissions recent ruling on damages to a former RAAF member demonstrates, women in the ADF are still subject to sexual harassment and sexual assault. |
 | | In 1996 Major Kathryn Quinn of the Australian Army Psychology Corps published a report, Sexual harassment in the Australian Defence Force, a comparative assessment of results from the 1987 and 1995 ADF career and family studies. |
