Media Statement issued by the National “Round Table” of the majority of Defence and Ex-Service member Organisations
Attached is a copy of a Media Statement issued today by the National “Round Table” of the majority of Defence and Ex-Service member Organisations who all express disappointment with the recent Government decisions to wind back the level of biannual adjustments to the Veterans Disability and War Widows Pensions and the 1.5% pay increase for ADF members which is well below the projected living cost movements.
The Organisations issue a plea to the Prime Minister to personally intervene to not only rework the recent unfair pay offer to ADF members but also to tackle other outstanding unfair issues that impact on both the serving and retired Defence communities.
