Got to agree, its pointless joining the army if you cant go to war if needed to.
Bit silly signing up in the first place. your there to do a job and if you cant go to war then dont join the army........end off.
Ahh, the consitutional crisis of '75.... and it was Gough Whitlam.
This was done because the government was running out of money because the upper house blocked a bill to approve the budget going through. They offered to pass the bill under the condition that the lower house was dissolved, which Whitlam ignored. Pretty extraordinary circumstances. Again, Wikipedia has more...
Probably correct. My parents have a friend who was in the British navy, then in the court services in Australia, and he recieves a pension from both.
Aren't military pensions after a certain number of years of service given as if you've been doing the job all your life? True half-pay?
