Independent JLN Senator for Tasmania Jacqui Lambie has delivered a 20min (attached 1) Senate speech in which she demands a public apology from the present Australian of the Year, retired Lt General Morrison – for the injustices of the Jedi Council scandal which were forced on retired Lt Colonel Dubsky.
“Lt Col Dubsky was used as a scapegoat by the Australian Army – as the media broke the so called “Jedi Council” scandal. Lt Col Dubsky and his families’ lives were destroyed when he was falsely accused of being a member of the Jedi Council – while Lt General Morrison was Chief of the Army. It’s clear that Lt Col Dubsky had his name illegally leaked to the media – and no one has been held to account for that crime.” said Senator Lambie.
“Because of the gross injustices Lt Col Dubsky was forced to endure during his military service – this Afghanistan Veteran with a distinguished record – suffered a complete mental health breakdown. He’s survived two suicide attempts and has endured many years of electro convulsive shock therapy and inpatient mental health care – as a direct result of Lt General Morrison’s actions while he was Chief of Army.
Lt Col Dubsky’s wife and children have also been grievously harmed and forced to suffer significant physical, mental and financial injury – because of the Army’s criminally negligent management of this matter. I want to know what Prime Minister Turnbull and Defence Minister Payne are going to do in order to fix this appalling injustice?
I’m disappointed that the Defence Minister’s office today seems to be playing games – and refuses to confirm a meeting where Lt Col Dubsky has a chance to personally speak with Defence Minister Payne about his serious matters. We have new information and documents which further strengthen his case – and points to either criminal behaviour and cover up, in the senior ranks of the Australian Army – or gross dysfunction.” said Senator Lambie.
