A hidden camera or recording device is found aboard Royal Australian Navy ship HMAS Leeuwin while it is stationed near Cairns, prompting an urgent investigation by Defence and military police. Multiple outlets report that Defence has confirmed the device was discovered and that police are investigating.
According to the reports, the disclosure follows allegations in parliament by senator Jacqui Lambie, who says a concealed camera was found in a women’s shower on the vessel. Defence spokespeople do not provide further operational details in their public statements, including the precise location of the device, beyond acknowledging that it was found aboard the ship three days earlier. Outlet coverage focuses on the timing between the parliamentary claim and Defence’s later confirmation, and on the fact that the investigation is ongoing with limited information released publicly so far.
