在海军舰船浴室发现录像设备后，女性退伍军人战略延迟发布。堪培拉——澳大利亚国防军将审查针对性骚扰和性侵犯的匿名举报选项，这是一项旨在改善现役女性和退伍军人待遇的广泛战略的一部分，该战略在国防部被指控未能“清理”其文化数天后发布。
Delayed women veterans strategy published in wake of recording device found in bathroom of a Navy ship. CANBERRA — Australia’s Defence Force will review its anonymous reporting options for sexual harassment and sexual assault, as part of a broad strategy enforcing better treatment of serving women and veterans, released days after the Department of Defence was accused of failing to “clean up” its culture.
该战略于10月15日晚发布——退伍军人团体告诉POLITICO称其发布已推迟一个多月——《女性退伍军人战略》回应了将更多女性纳入并提拔为作战必要性的需求，因为澳大利亚正寻求迅速提升国防能力。
Released on the evening of Oct. 15 — more than a month after veteran groups told POLITICO its publication had been delayed — the Women Veterans Strategy responds to a need to include and advance more women as a matter of operational necessity, as Australia looks to rapidly scale up defense capability.
该战略承诺国防部将调查“匿名举报选项的有效性，包括认知度、采用率及其与替代方案相比的影响”。该战略发布之际，皇家澳大利亚海军HMAS李温号舰船上发现了一台视频录像设备，据称位于女浴室，促使独立参议员杰基·兰比呼吁设立独立纪律机构，取代军事警察来调查军方性暴力。
The strategy commits Defence to inquiring “into the effectiveness of anonymous reporting options including awareness, uptake and impact compared to alternative approaches.”It comes just days after a video recording device was found on the Royal Australian Navy ship HMAS Leeuwin, reportedly in a women’s bathroom, prompting independent Sen. Jacqui Lambie to call for an independent disciplinary body to investigate military sexual violence in place of military police.
