Thanks useful information: 0
First there was a report of an ADF Officer and a sailor being attacked by 2 men of middle eastern appearance. Later the "allegations of assault" were withdrawn.
What do you make of this, and what do you think the effect might be.
Is there a lesson to be learnt from this?

Everyone's getting a bit overexcited just at the moment?
No idea what to think until I find out more about it. My nephew is of middle eastern appearance but only because he has a beard but shaves his head . Born in Blackburn. Aussie parents.

You don't have to be dead to be a donor.
Education is what remains after that which has been learnt, has been forgotten.
Depends what they mean by 'withdrawn'. Could mean they have decided not to proceed with the matter. Could be that it was a lie, could be a range of things. Until we get clarification on exactly what is meant by withdrawn in this instance, it is a bit hard to work it out.

The ADF chief has said
"I have been in contact with [NSW Police Commissioner] Andrew Scipione throughout the evening and just spoken to him before I came down here now and that sailor has withdrawn those allegations."
"What I would like to say, because this is breaking news, on behalf of the Australian Defence Force I would like to apologise to the Australian community and particularly the Middle Eastern community for any angst that this has caused."
So, either the allegations were invented or were speculative.
Think it was a single ADF member claiming to be assaulted?
He wouldn't make it up, would he?
The ADF wouldn't make him withdraw a valid complaint to appease others, would they?

Good questions. What do you think?
People make things up for all sorts of reasons . Remember that Olympic athlete who claimed he was assaulted and his arm got injured. Turned out he fell off his skate board. There have numerous cases of kids / girls claiming they were abducted. One girl claimed she was raped. She wasn't . They were just covering up for something else .
Maybe this is a similar story.
