The Australian Defence Force has set up an independent panel to review its cadet program

Cadet NATHAN FRANCIS was 13 when he died after suffering an allergic reaction to peanuts
in a ration pack meal.

The Melbourne boy .. from Scotch College .. was taking part in an army cadet unit camp
in the Wombat State Forest in western Victoria.

Defence is seeking public submissions to the review until September 30.
