I found out that in the Australian Army one will not be promoted above a certain rank unless he is a Mason no matter how good he is at his job.

It would not surprise me.
During the 1970s when my mother and father were married and my father (RIP) was still a policeman, they went out to dinner with some of the top brass,
including the Commissioner of South Australian Police. When the topic turned to religion the Commissioner said he was a Catholic, and since my mother
was raised a Catholic an interesting conversation began.
Anyway, the Police Commissioner said that when it came to appointing the man for the top job, it was no secret that the order always went, Catholic,
Freemason, Catholic, Freemason, Catholic etc.
My mother doesn't buy into any global conspiracy about secret societies but did find it interesting enough to mention it to me.
I also find it interesting that the emblem representative of Victorian and Western Australian Police has an inverse Pentagram (and a laurel wreath
attached to it).
From Victoria Police: "The five-point star symbolises that Victoria Police Members will go in any direction to perform their duties"

In SA we have the Magpie, representing the Phoenix (13, reborn, raised from the ashes) perhaps?

I've heard about similar things occurring in the military but have not uncovered any evidence as yet. I really wish I was closer to my father before
he died. He was also ex-military and ex interpol.
