Nikki Coleman accuses senior leadership of being ‘cowards’, telling inquiry she was urged not to complain about her abuser
on Tuesday she wanted leaders to do the right thing and warned that defence capability could be undermined by the “dirty little secret that bullying and sexual assaults are rife and they’re not dealing with them adequately – in fact, they’re spending more time covering them up than preventing them”.
Ten of Coleman’s 12 complaints against the person were eventually upheld, but he continued to work at Defence. “How many Defence members and veterans need to kill themselves before you stop obstructing the investigations of this royal commission and start to become part of the solution rather than part of the problem? You are one of the big reasons so many service women and men are killing themselves, and I hope that keeps you awake at night,” she said.
