Budget again fails military superannuants
Military superannuants have been denied fair indexation in yet another Labor Budget proving once and for all that the only way to deliver fair indexation is to change the Government.
Shadow Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Senator the Hon. Michael Ronaldson, said the Gillard Labor Government’s 2013-14 Budget failed to deliver on the number one concern of veterans and their families.
“It is now clear that the only way to deliver fair indexation is to change the Government”, Senator Ronaldson said. “Saturday, 14 September 2013 is the day to make Fair Indexation happen.”
“I can guarantee if a Coalition Government is elected on 14 September 2013 that next year’s Budget will contain the funds necessary to deliver our fair indexation commitment to DFRB and DFRDB military superannuants aged 55 and over.”“Only the Coalition can and will deliver fair indexation.”
Senator Ronaldson said other measures in the Budget, whilst welcome, were actually re-announcements of commitments made in recent weeks which belatedly acted on old advice.“Labor has announced funding for mental health services, but the additional funding and associated services won’t be available until after 1 July 2014.”
“The extension of non-liability mental health treatment, at a cost of $14.6 million, comes with a qualification requirement of a minimum of three years’ full time service for ex-service personnel to access it.”
“This is at odds with the DVA-preferred recommendation in the 2011 Review of Military Compensation Arrangements which called for a full extension to all ex-service personnel.”
“The widening of services to veterans’ families attending counselling services at the VVCS has similarly been deferred for the next 14 months, despite these recommendations going to the Department in 2011.”
Senator Ronaldson said the Coalition was absolutely committed to the Centenary of Anzac and would work hard in Government to ensure the commemoration period was the success it must be.
“This sixth Labor Budget leaves many areas of concern unaddressed. Labor’s legacy of debt and deficit, waste and mismanagement, chaos, division and indecision will give veterans no comfort that Labor has an agenda for veterans’ affairs into the future”, Senator Ronaldson said.

RLI

Four hospitalised after Puckapunyal army base tanks crash
From: AAP
May 22, 2013 2:19PM
THREE men have been flown to hospital with serious injuries after two army tanks collided at a Victorian army base.
Ten people were injured when the vehicles collided about 10.30am (AEST) at the Puckapunyal Army Base in central Victoria.
Three men were airlifted to Melbourne hospitals in serious but stable conditions, Rural Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen said.
A fourth person was taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital by road in a stable condition.
A further six people suffered minor injuries and were being assessed at a medical centre on the army base.
Mr Mullen said it was unlikely the six people would be taken to hospital.
The Australian Defence Force and Victoria Police are investigating the collision.
A police spokeswoman said officers would investigate whether there was any criminal negligence stemming from the crash.
If there was no negligence, the investigation would be handled by the Defence Force, she said.

London attack: Terrorists targeting soldiers at home again?
G'day fellow current or ex service men and women, i was saddened to see this shear act of brutality occur in the streets of London this morning to a fellow brother in-arms!

London (CNN) -- Security experts are starting to analyze events leading up to the horrific cleaver attack of a man believed to be a British soldier on the suburban streets of London.
One key line of inquiry they'll be following among the many leads: How does this attack relate to other incidents around the world?
CNN Terrorism Analyst Paul Cruickshank says the precedents are not hard to detect. "It's early in the investigation in terms of looking at the culprit and motivation but there's a track record of Islamist extremists inspired by al Qaeda ideology targeting soldiers in the West," he said.
Other areas the security services would look at, he added, would include which groups -- if any -- were behind the attack and whether it was home-grown.
Cruickshank said that there had been plots in the past when attackers had tried to target military personnel: the fact that Wednesday's murder happened near a military barracks in southeast London was significant.
"It's not clear if this particular officer was specifically targeted or he just happened to be walking through this area and was a target of opportunity," said Cruickshank, "but it seems that more than one individual was part of this attack, so this could well have been planned. We just don't know."
CNN affiliate ITN has broadcast a video showing a man at the scene of the attack with bloody hands and holding a meat cleaver, saying: "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you." He then continues: "The only reasons we killed this man this is because Muslims are dying daily. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth."

Honesty needed on veterans’ claim processing times
The Gillard Labor Government is regularly misreporting average claim processing times for veterans returning from recent conflicts making claims for compensation for their service-related conditions.
Evidence given in Senate Estimates by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs confirmed that the average claim processing time of 120 days was not being met. In fact, the working average is actually 155 days.
Shadow Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Senator the Hon. Michael Ronaldson, said Labor was fudging figures in the Budget to the detriment of veterans.
“Two years ago, Veterans’ Affairs Minister Warren Snowdon said the claims process was ‘complex, unwieldy and slow’, but it appears Labor has actually done nothing tangible since then to meaningfully reduce claims processing times”, Senator Ronaldson said.
“Labor knew in March this year that average processing times for compensation claims was 155 days, but decided that the Budget papers released just three weeks ago would misreport that number. Labor’s Budget papers say the actual ‘mean’ processing time for 2012-13 was 120 days. Departmental officials confirmed this was incorrect.”
“Veterans and their families will take cold comfort from the Gillard Labor Government knowingly misreporting important statistics, such as average claims processing times, as they deal with the anxiety of the compensation claims process.”
“Warren Snowdon needs to explain why he allows such manipulation of Departmental figures and statistics to hide a problem – a very serious problem confronting the community.”
Senator Ronaldson said the expected growth in new claims – confirmed at 8 per cent per annum – required leadership from the Minister to end the dodgy reporting.
“The Department of Veterans’ Affairs acknowledged in Senate Estimates that there is an issue and that processing times are well behind where they want them to be. Minister Snowdon should also acknowledge that there is an issue rather than trying to manipulate figures to present a different reality.”
