Truth is the first casualty of war
Australian prime minister John Howard has rejected claims by Private Jake Kovco's mother that the army and the government had covered up over the circumstances surrounding his death.
"I can give her an assurance that there will be no cover up," Mr Howard said.
The government initially said Pte Kovco died when his gun discharged as he was cleaning it.
It has since said the soldier was not cleaning the weapon when it accidentally discharged, but the details of exactly what happened remain unclear.
