Inspector-General Geoff Earley identified serious shortcomings in repatriation practices in the wake of Diggers being returned from Afghanistan in upside-down caskets.
While defence chief General David Hurley publicly labelled The Daily Telegraph's report of the casket scandal as "un-Australian", he privately ordered the Inspector-General to launch an inquiry into the Australian Defence Force Investigative Service - which was formed after Private Jake Kovco's body was misplaced on its return to Australia in 2006.
