Answer

The Ministry of Defence had none. The categories previously referenced by the New Zealand Defence Force during any disciplinary processes have included inappropriate jokes or sexualised remarks, unwanted physical contact, inappropriate digital communication, unprofessional and unwelcome behaviour, and unwanted advances.
