It is also unclear from the available information who discovered the device, how it had been installed or whether any footage was recorded. The military has confirmed the existence of the device but no further details about the circumstances have been provided.
The allegations referred to concealed cameras in the plural, while the military’s confirmation concerns a hidden video recording device. No information has been supplied about any investigation, disciplinary action or other response.
The latest known position is that the Australian military has acknowledged the discovery. Further details about the vessel, the device and any subsequent inquiry have not been given.
