A former Australian soldier was "humiliated and degraded" by military personnel in an interrogation over her sexuality in the 1980s, a royal commission investigating defence and veteran suicide has been told.
Public hearings at the royal commission in Sydney this week are taking evidence from those in the ADF community who have had suicidal ideation, and family members of those who have taken their lives.
The inquiry came about after Prime Minister Scott Morrison declared last year he would not block a move to finally examine the issue of ADF and veteran suicides.
