Army sacks six members of 'Jedi Council'
DateNovember 15, 2013 - 5:50AM
The Army has sacked six soldiers at the centre of the notorious "Jedi Council", whose members swapped grossly demeaning emails about women they'd slept with.
Five months after the scandal came to light, the Chief of the Army, Lieutenant-General David Morrison announced in a statement on Thursday night that the ringleaders had been dismissed.
The Jedi Council members circulated video and images of women with whom members of the ring had slept, along with demeaning commentary that included personal information about the women. Police sources have said that other members were challenged to try and have sex with the women.
The women are understood to have been filmed without their knowledge.
Three of the sacked soldiers are still facing possible criminal prosecution by New South Wales police.
Of the 17 main members of the ring - who include several officers - a further seven may also be sacked. The remaining four "have been the subject of, or are facing, administrative sanctions", General Morrison said.
He also revealed that a further 172 soldiers - most of whom are Army members - received at least some of the emails, though appear not to have been directly involved. Disciplinary action is being considered against those soldiers.
General Morrison said that the six soldiers who have been sacked ranged in rank from sergeant to major and include both Regular Army members and reservists.
"The Australian Army is overwhelmingly an organisation of 44,000 talented and professional men and women, who serve their country with pride and distinction," General Morrison said.
"The standard of behaviour we expect of our serving members is clear."
General Morrison received widespread praise for his palpable anger over the affair, including a steely video presentation in which he told sexist male soldiers to "get out" of the Army.
However Defence has also faced questions over the length of the investigation. As Fairfax Media reported in June, Defence first learnt of the Jedi Council in September 2010, but General David Morrison and other top brass, as well as then-Defence Minister Stephen Smith, were not informed until April this year.
The Jedi Council episode is one of a string of embarrassing scandals for Defence, which has undergone major reviews into its internal culture in the wake of the Skype affair of 2011.
Defence announced last week that Army cadet Daniel McDonald - who filmed himself having sex with a fellow cadet and streamed it via Skype to his friends - had been kicked out of the Australian Defence Force Academy

There is no place in defence for this behaviour, the CDF is to be commended for his stance. The recent Navy incident of hazing I'm sure will be dealt with accordingly.

G'day folks,
Do any of our ex/or current defence members have any photos they would like to share with the forum ie; recruit training photos, (how we looked when we first started out) photo's through your journey whilst serving.
PS, Good luck and lets have a bit of fun and have a laugh how we looked when we were younger! (NP99 "sir" no Jedi night photos please!)
Regards,
RLI

I agree.
Whilst it's wrong to think like this, I kinda expect it from the youngin's but sergeant to major, I gotta wonder where it went wrong.
