The Department of Defence and former General Counsel DMO, Ms Gillian Marks, have amicably resolved a lengthy dispute between them.
The dispute arose out of an investigation by Defence which concluded on 31 October 2008 at which time Defence resolved that no action was required to be taken against Ms Marks.
The Department of Defence acknowledges that the content of previous articles in the media about Ms Marks in relation to the investigation and her employment as General Counsel DMO were not authorised by Defence.
