On the government not releasing reports or answering questions, Richard Marles says:

I think there is a creeping culture of secrecy. I think it's more than creeping. I think from day one, you know, this secrecy has characterised the way in which this government has gone about its business and I think the way in which the prime minister actually has gone about his business both as a minister and now as prime minister.

And it is a concern. You know, the way in which we build confidence in the ADF but in government action and in the institutions of government is actually to have transparency and allow people to see for themselves.
