Thread: Should the taxpayer fund housing for wounded Vets?

We most certainly should pay. I would add however, I don't see our enlisted service people as anything different from any other Commonwealth public servants. They are all serving the country. Be it a fisheries inspector, an Antarctic expeditioner or an office worker, if they are injured on the job then appropriate support should be given by their employer (ie the taxpayer).

unfortunatly many at vet affairs think it is there job to fight all claims not look after the vets i had 2 claims knocked back on the 3rd attempt i was told how to apply so it would be approved, it was the same as i had sent in in the first place

I doubt that we can ever repay the debt (so to speak) to these wounded vets and their equally wounded families, but I wonder what we can do.

Health services are woefully inadequate for chronically disabled people, particularly young adults and aged care homes are very much the wrong environments.

What can we say about mental health services? If you go outside the inner city suburbs there aren't any mental health services!

If nothing else I feel that we should get behind the RSL's push and write to our local Federal member and the Minister for Veterans Affairs demanding that they do something.

I'm assuming the new minister's email address will be: warren.snowdon.MP@aph.gov.au

In any case the postal address will be:
The Hon. Warren Snowdon PM
Minister for Veterans Affairs
Parliament House
Canberra ACT 2600

maybe.

but the money should come from out of the pollies silk lined fat paycheck and benefits scheme.

Of course we should, Its a small price to pay for someone risking their life and their future. How easy do they find the billions/billions to accommodate the illegal immigrants/boat people. Look after our own first I say.

They might be serving the country, but they don't have bullets fired at them. Full support to all veterans.!!!!

Why not we pay anywhere from $50.000 to $70.000 to house crimanals .
THATS MORE THAN I GET IN ME PENSION...

"Should the taxpayer fund housing for wounded Vets?"

Yes.

This question should not even need to be asked.
