Our Defence Force personnel already face greater hardships than most Australians, in their service to this country. To reduce their leave entittlements and to offer them a less than CPI pay increase is not only wrong, it can be seen as an insult to the service and devotion that them provide us.

This action by our political representatives, would not be supported by the majority of our citizens, especially when our Defence Force personnel are again being asked to put their lives on the line in defence do our freedom.
