Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has blasted the behaviour of Australian troops who flew a Nazi flag above an army vehicle in Afghanistan in 2007 as "completely and utterly unacceptable".
The leaked photograph, obtained by the ABC and published on Thursday, shows a large swastika flag flying above a light military vehicle.
The Defence force said a commander "took immediate action to have the offensive flag taken down". The troops involved were "immediately cautioned at the time and subsequently received further counselling", the Defence spokesperson told the ABC.
