Anthony Albanese has confirmed that the government will agree, or agree in principle, with 104 of the 122 recommendations from the royal commission's final report. The trio is committed to working on systemic change to address suicide in the defense and veteran community and improve overall veteran wellbeing. The government prioritizes suicide prevention programs and will develop the first joint Defence and Veteran Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
Anthony Albanese confirms the government will agree, or agree in principle, with 104 of the 122 recommendations included in the royal commission's final report.The trio say they are "committed" to working with the government to enact its response and delivering on the key recommendations.
Successive governments have resisted scrapping the "service differential" because inside the military community, there are strong views over whether defence personnel who serve in war should be categorised differently to those who don't."We regard that feature as being important. And that is why we have made the decision to maintain it," he says.says he doesn't agree with the suggestion from a reporter that ADF personnel are required to remove emotion from their jobs.
"They're seeing the improvement in the department, both in the timeliness and the way the Department of Veterans' Affairs engages with advocates and veterans," he says. The Department of Veterans Affairs and the veteran community will co-design a new agency focused on wellbeing to be established within DVA.says while the government can't bring back the lives that have been lost, it can fight to "stem this terrible epidemic".He acknowledges the work of veteran-turned-senator Jacqui Lambie and Julie Anne Finney, who long campaigned for the royal commission to take place.
"The type of people that we've got involved, we've been thinking about for quite some time, and what they bring to the table."A year-long review of Australia's research and development investment has been welcomed by the body that represents the most prestigious universities."This is a nation building exercise and it must be a national priority. Investment in R&D is an investment in the future of Australia.
