Not great scores overall but ignoring the elements of the score related to safety assist and added features, there are some poor engineering issues highlighted.
The pole oblique score of 0 out of 8 is a standout  or it is at least from the Oz mag report. Follow the link to the actual test report and it gets zerp because "the oblique pole test was not conducted...". How does that work!
"“The structural issues we saw with the originally-tested Wrangler also apply to the Gladiator including A-pillar and cross-facia beam failure, footwell intrusion, high seatbelt loads and excessive pedal movement. These remain an increased risk for occupants,” ANCAP Director – Communications & Advocacy, Rhianne Robson said."
