  • Australian Soldiers Ripped off by Government

    Published on May 20, 2012 by Shaun Greenwood

    Australian soldiers were promised a pension that would allow them to live comfortably when they retire. Then the government changed the rules and ripped them off.

    Now, hundreds of the once proud men who fought for our country live below the poverty line with barely enough to live.

    The Australian Government says they're committed to veterans but both sides of politics refuse to correct this situation.

    Warren Snowden, Minister of Veterans' Affairs, refused to comment. And the ABC, the government's moutpiece, refused to air the story. So here it is, in full.

    But, they get their forces pension plus the old age pension. That's twice what the old age pensioners get.

      Armed Forces paid into their own pension scheme, they were promised indexation to retain parity with other sectors by various govenrments, they also pay tax like every other citizen........they deserve it and they should receive it!! Armed forces of our country are the reason we live in a free democratic society.
