Le militaire australien Tom Phillips récemment nommé commandant d'un sous-marin de la marine australienne a trouvé la solution micrale pour séduire les jeunes australiens et les convaincre de s'engager dans la marine en manque de candidats : demander à toutes les femmes qui travaillent dans la marine d'être sexy et de porter des bikinis pendant leurs heures de travail!
Des propos jugés sexistes par les associations féministes et il semblerait que le ministère de la défense est sur le point d'éjecter le stupide commandant après l'avoir obligé de faire le tour du ministère en slip!
Sub-standard sex gaffe from top Navy brass
A NEWLY-appointed Australian Navy submarine commander is in hot water for suggesting that women sailors wearing bikinis might help to boost recruitment.
Commander Tom Phillips, appointed to the helm of Collins class submarine HMAS Farncomb last year, also said the submarine equivalent of the "mile-high club" is the "going down club".
In an interview with men's magazine Ralph he revealed the naval uniform works to "either pull a chick or get in a fight".
Asked by the magazine "if female sailors all had to be hot and had to wear bikinis, would that help recruitment?", Commander Phillips is quoted as responding: "It would certainly get the right demographic of young men in. I'm not sure how feasible it is, however."
The Federal Opposition and feminists have called for action over the article and Minister for Defence Warren Snowden has described the comments as "utterly unacceptable".
Mr Snowden said they did not reflect "new generation Navy" and has called for an urgent review into the criteria for media approvals to ensure interviews "match the values of the ADF".
Despite bipartisan attempts to improve the recruitment and retention of women in the defence forces, Liberal MP Bob Baldwin said Cdr Phillips' remarks were "totally inappropriate and absolutely offensive."
"If these comments are to be attributed to this newly appointed commander, I think it will go down as one of the shortest careers in naval history," Mr Baldwin, the Opposition Defence Personnel spokesman, said.
"From a commanding officer of the Royal Australian Navy one would expect a bit more maturity and a respectful attitude to his fellow men and women in the services. He owes them an apology."
Eva Cox, chair of the Womens Lobby Australia, said the article reflected "the Navy's limited view of women as bodies rather than brains".
Real Admiral Davyd Thomas defended the submarine captain, claiming the article does "not accurately portray Navy's culture."
The deputy chief of Navy said the offending comments made to freelance journalist John Bastik were a response to a "flippant question and the commanding officer's response was not intended to be serious."
Mr Bastik could not be contacted.
