Yes, sir. I spent 37 years in the Australian army. I'm a tank officer, and I'm very proud of that. But more importantly for this role, I spent significant periods of time as the director of senior officer management, as director general of personnel for the army, and as head of defence people capability, which is the senior military personnel officer across the Australian Defence Force. That gave me a good sense of these issues.
On June 7th, 2017. See this statement in context.
