Federal MP Andrew Hastie, a former officer in the Australian special forces, wants parliamentary oversight for the Australian Defence Forces (ADF) amid the fallout from the inquiry into allegations of unlawful killings by Australian special forces in Afghanistan.
Hastie made his argument in an article published on his website on Tuesday. Hastie, who chairs the parliamentary committee on intelligence and security, said that the federal government needs to establish a committee with powers to compel defence chiefs and bureaucrats.
