Defence released talking points and question briefs regarding Major General Paul Brereton's engagement with the Inspector-General of the ADF (IGADF). The documents address Brereton's consultation role with the IGADF on Afghanistan Inquiry matters while serving as Commissioner of the National Anti-Corruption Commission from July 2023. Key points include that Brereton verbally resigned as Assistant Inspector-General in May 2023 with effect from July 2023, has not sought payment for subsequent occasional advisory work, and has not declared conflicts of interest to the IGADF. The briefs note the IGADF is aware the National Anti-Corruption Commission's Inspector, Gail Furness SC, has commenced an investigation into Brereton's potential misconduct, including conflict-of-interest management, and state the IGADF will assist if requested. Defence asserts there was no impropriety in the IGADF seeking Brereton's advice. Material is marked Confidential with minimal visible redactions beyond standard classification markings.
