CANBERRA Justin Anderson 76ers Jersey , June 2 (Xinhua) -- The number of serving Australian Defence Force members under investigation for physical, sexual and other abuses has more than doubled since October, local media reported on Tuesday.
A 135 percent rise since October took the number of serving ADF personnel currently under investigation to 151 including 82 permanent force members, 62 reservists and seven civilian public servants.
The total number of complaints received by the Defence Force Abuse Task Force (DART), an independent body charged with examining abuse in the military, has now reached 2 Julius Erving 76ers Jersey ,400 going back to the 1950s.
In response to questions by independent senator Nick Xenophon at a Senate Estimate hearing on Monday evening, Defence chiefs confirmed 151 serving members were the subject of 110 cases of alleged abuse, that ranged from rape and sexual assault to bullying.
None of the cases come from the second volume of the top-secret DLA Piper Report which details hundreds of cases and specific recommendations dealing with individual complaints of abuse.
Senator Xenophon described the jump in the number of cases as " startling" and raised concerns about the pace of the investigation.
Former solider and fellow independent senator, Jacqui Lambie, said victims should know their perpetrators had not risen to the military's elite.
Air Commodore Henrik Ehlers, Defence's head of cultural change Joel Embiid 76ers Jersey , said no Defence members would knowingly be put at risk by a member under investigation.
"We will look to the name of the perpetrator, the alleged incident, their service history to date, to see (whether) they present, in our assessment, a real and present danger today and now Jerryd Bayless 76ers Jersey ," Ehlers said.
"To date I have not received sufficiently compelling information ... and been able to link a risk assessment of the alleged perpetrator to taking immediate action."
He said bringing cases to a conclusion was "a high priority" of the Chief of Australian Defence Force Mark Binskin.
He acknowledged, however, none of the accused had been disciplined by the ADF itself or through a court martial.
Ehlers said some complainants did not want a full investigation into their cases.
Almost 50 million U.S. dollars in reparation payments has been awarded to 1,643 complainants since DART was established four years ago.
Its founding was prompted by a wave of cultural change in the military after a female cadet at the Australian Defence Force Academy having sex was unknowingly broadcast via Skype to other cadets.

MELBOURNE, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Two wickets in the final over saw Ireland dramatically hold off Zimbabwe by five runs in their thrilling cricket World Cup clash in Hobart on Saturday.
Recovering from 474, a fluctuating Zimbabwe toyed with the possibility of eclipsing Ireland's 8331 Jahlil Okafor 76ers Jersey , the Associate nation's highest one-day international (ODI) total, but it proved too much with Zimbabwe all out for 326 with three balls remaining.
Both teams had a pair of batsmen post big scores but it was Irish fast bowler Alex Cusack who proved the difference, taking 432 from his 9.3 overs including the final two wickets as Ireland snatched their third win of the tournament from their four games.
Despite No.10 batsman Tawanda Mupariwa thumping 18 from the penultimate over to reignite Zimbabwe's slim hopes, he was unable to replicate it in the final over and become the unlikely hero. Instead, in skying a Cuzack slower ball, he closed his explosive seven-ball innings as the final man dismissed.
Aggressive hitting from Brendan Taylor (121) and Sean Williams (96) had put Zimbabwe within striking distance but Zimbabwe's stocks sank in the 47th over with the dismissal of Williams Henry Sims 76ers Jersey , caught by a fielder judged to be millimeters inside the boundary.
Williams' clean strike over the midwicket boundary when in sight of a century was plucked out of the air by John Mooney as his back foot stepped beside the boundary rope.
With the video umpire unable to find an angle proving conclusively that Mooney touched the rope, the original dismissal stood and Williams was sent on his way.
Earlier, Irish stalwart Ed Joyce, man of the match for his 112, survived a first ball scare when an edge fell centimeters short of first slip before posting his third ODI ton.
He rarely looked in trouble again as he combined with Andrew Balbirnie for a key 138-run partnership in the middle overs.
Balbirnie, whose first appearance as a No.4 batsman saw him smash 97 from 79 balls Gerald Henderson 76ers Jersey , was run out in sight of a maiden ODI century as he helped his team accelerate in the closing overs.
Ireland's final group match next Sunday against Pakistan looms as a crucial match in deciding the quarter-final places, but the world No.11 will need to first face world No.2 India on Tuesday in Hamilton, New Zealand.
Zimbabwe, now with just one win from five games, cannot make the knockout stages and will play for pride in Auckland on March 14 against India.

Approval rating is rarely seen in other world cities: Beijing mayor
Over 9 in 10 Chinese people support the decision to hold the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, Beijing mayor Wang Anshun said Tuesday.
Wang Darryl Dawkins 76ers Jersey , who also headed Beijing's bid for the Games, said at a briefing on Tuesday that an opinion poll showed that more than 90 percent of the Chinese people supported the bid, while Beijing and its bidding partner, Zhangjiakou, North China's Hebei Province enjoy higher public support, with 92 percent and 99 percent Dana Barros 76ers Jersey , respectively.
"Such support is rarely seen in other cities bidding for the Winter Olympics and it fully reflects the Chinese people's excitement over the Games," he said, adding that the poll was not conducted by the Chinese government.
