Video recording device found in cabin of HMAS Leeuwin navy ship in Cairns

A hidden video recording device was found in the cabin of HMAS Leeuwin, a Royal Australian Navy ship docked in Cairns. The discovery comes after Senator Jacqui Lambie revealed a similar incident in parliament.

The device was found during a routine inspection, and an investigation is underway to determine how it got there and who placed it.

The defence department has assured the public that the ship's security measures are robust and that the incident is being taken seriously.
