If they had won the election, I am convinced that they would have done something about it. Deb Grey is a hard-working, honest MP and like others deserves a pension. In the interim, it makes sense to opt in to the scheme until it can be changed. At least the Alliance made it known that they fully intended to do something about this matter if they became the governing party. I am happy that Pyne took the time to drive by the base.
Next time stop and talk to a soldier before making such statements.
Something he would have found out is that the vehicle to which he made reference is on loan from the company in order for the Forces to evaluate the effectiveness of the vehicle. There are other companies that are doing the same and the vehicle that is determined the best for the military police will get a contract. As for his reference that the military does not need new vehicles, consider the military is presently flat-bedding vehicles to exercises as they are unsafe to drive. The vehicles are so old that there are no companies available to provide parts to repair them. As for housing, I am living in a house that is run by CFHA, which admits the house does not meet housing standards.
