I wish I could be more surprised about this, but I have always thought that there would be insufficient evidence to make any conclusions from this case.
It was, unfortunately, (and will ever be), little more than a coronial waste of money.
Pity though. The real causes are institutional, and such that the defence forses are not even aware that they are actually problems. Sad.
