"Defence doesn’t look at veterans as part of their own anymore," he said.
Mr Roberts-Smith described support services for veterans as lacking, saying “at any point you could be injured, leave and not be supported in a way that is expected and that you should be supported because you have chosen to serve". He added access to support is imperative as every veteran is affected by their service in some way. “No one leaves the Defence Force without being affected in some regard,” he said.
SharriMarkson My husband served 42 yrs, mostly in SASR. His unacceptable behaviour complaint resulted in an Inquiry that allowed lies from officers as evidence. They said he took $10million from SASR Trust! IGADF inquiries are CORRUPTED. BRS will be lucky if his reputation remains in tact.
I agree. I wouldn’t join now. When I was in it was total support and trust. It was a family. The selfish PC forces have taken over
Meanwhile the PC driven bureaucracy now sees DVA call their ESO Christmas Party: ‘End Of Year Function’. The word ‘Christmas’ is apparently just too offensive! That will save a lot of distress for our suffering vets!
So true
Who were the top brass at the time? Who got career moves? Hurley became Governor of NSW then Governor General. Is that a career move? He was Chief of Defence. Is that Top Brass? warcrimesmatter
He is under investigation by ADF and here's the suspect, aided by an uncritical Murdoch press, attacking the lawful investigators. This is the New trump era.
Why didn't you ask about punching a lover in the face?
Why didn't you ask him about war crimes? They're not allegations by nine, they're complaints made by SAS brothers-in-arms and under investigation by adf and afp.
Yes agree Ben now lipstick and handbags are a must to have on before going to battle , seriously.Our enemies will die of laughter.

SharriMarkson What happened to those allegations that he kicked an Afghan detainee, by the name of Ali jan, of a cliff in 2012 in Afghanistan?
If we go to war then all called up must die. We can't afford for them to come home. Answer maybe to stay in our own backyard and load up with rockets for danger that gets too close.
This is a real tragedy. The respect for the armed services has been dragged through the mud of 'woke' ideology and the witch hunting of patriots. Be very careful Australia. The barbarians are at the gates.
Activists are out to condemn war & target individuals...without the acknowledgement that in another country under a different regime their slack ar$e protesting, travelling around, enjoying freedom & Lifestyle wouldn’t exist.
i dont think the defence dept look after there personell half as much as they should
I've never served but I find that an odd thing for him say. You serve your country not the leadership.
He’s right, given the feedback I’ve had from close friends 16 years in service.
It’s never a good idea in the first place.

The Greens are 'better at giving lectures than lending a hand' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the Greens' rhetoric surrounding the bushfire crisis shows the party is 'much better at giving lectures than at lending a hand'.\n\nIt comes as Greens Senator Larissa Waters is distancing herself from comments made by an anti-domestic violence campaigner who claimed men returning from fighting bushfires were more likely to abuse their partners.\n\n'How many green activists have you noticed lately on fire crews or making sandwiches in CWA halls to keep volunteer fire-fighters in the field? Not too many, I bet,' she said.\n\nMs Credlin said 'if they were actually serious here', the lights would go off and 'they would let their mobile phones run out of charge' since they claim to be against fossil fuels.\n\n'It is so typical of the Greens that they should be so manically exploiting a natural disaster to play politics,' she said.\n\n'Again and again, we're seeing that – for the Greens – their political motivations are not about the environment at all; the environment is just their chosen weapon to deploy in their fight for the far-left.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n Not a Greeny... Greens are clowns Pets who?
