Army email scandal shows 'predatory culture'

The latest Defence scandal has prompted calls for a zero-tolerance approach to misconduct, with experts suggesting that engrained sexism in the Army may be worse than first thought.
Earlier today the Chief of the Army, Lieutenant General David Morrison, revealed that senior personnel are involved in a series of explicit and offensive emails that degrade women.
A sociologist and former infantryman says the senior ranks of those involved show that disciplinary issues are not confined to young members of the Defence Force.
He also says the use of images to degrade women is a long-standing tradition within the Defence Force.
