Veteran threatens to shoot himself outside Parliament House

Welcome to the defence force son; you are now part of one of the worlds elite cannon-fodder…

Meanwhile, while these deseal-reseal guys are fucked over, some nutjob dual-citizen who asked to be returned to the Phillipines will now probably get a huge compo payout and full medical care paid for by the Aussie taxpayer.

PS: I hate having to use terms like ‘the ANZAC spirit’ because our prime miniature (or ‘the toxic midget’ as coined by one of the ex-diggers) has spoiled terms and expressions like this; but I make an esception this time because it’s an apt observation.

Don’t get me started on what he done to the term ‘mateship’. What a f*cktard; he wouldn’t know the first thing about ‘mateship’. But I digress.

Thumper, your’s and Mael’s points were not lost on me; I was going to make reference to your comments but I was running late for something important which I didn’t end up going to anyway…

But good link Thumper; I’ll have a bigger poke around there when I have a chance.

I have to ask (as I have been in a bit of a hole this week) whether this was covered or mentioned on the news or in the paper? I would think that event the crap that I have absorbed in the last week would have mentioned something this important…

Just read the forum in it’s entirety (making a note to head back there) and all I have to say is that it’s a f*cking disgraceful state of affairs. I would encourage everyone who has an interest in the services and the federal government’s treatment of diggers to read this.

What can you say about it all? Disgraceful. Disgusting.

This is not what Australia and the ANZAC spirit is about.

Lol Greenbank Training area in Brisbane

Thumper, I got Ross River Virus for my troubles, and I lost 2 teeth to a dentist who was losing her hair from standing too close to the xray machine. I still have bad dreams about her.

One of my wife’s fonder memories of the Armed Forces of this country is when she got the shits with me being at home off my face on drugs because the pain in my mouth was too great (from my experience with the whole deal I spent at least a week asleep and don’t remember too much at all), so she called Dental and told them she was bringing me in, bundled me into the car and drove out to base.

Dental saw me as soon as possible cause of the civvie factor, the next utterance she heard was “Oh my god, look at the Blood” and heard lots of gurgling noises.

They 1/2 wiped my face off and presented me back to her still off my face, covered in smeared blood and glaring at her still cause I was happily sleeping 30 minutes previously.

And of course, a couple of teeth absent.

I started to read it but I got bored

Thanks for summarising it for us though.

Jey, hold that thought until you’ve read the forum.

I have just finished (it’s quite a read), and I agree wholeheartedly with what’s going on. As an ex serviceman of this country I can better describe my treatment as nearer to ‘big black man with illicit intent with me trouserless bound to a desk’ opposed to ‘waves of houseslaves to attend to my every whim’.

The media silence is deafening.

There was a remarkable comparison made to a person who works in Parliament who took an item of Gym equipment without permission, did not do a familiarisation class, and injured himself. He got $60k for his efforts, yet this poor chap who has threatened to kill himself gets a maximum of $40k even though he will suffer from such things as being confined to a wheelchair, not being able to hold objects, having his brain eaten by an as yet unidentified reaction etc etc.

He has been to receive medical treatment, he has sought all avenues of assistance. They told him to fuck off. It’s not the medical facilities fault, they only work off the money they receive, which comes from the same place where some dumbass gets $60k for flogging an exercycle without having the knowledge to use it.

Onward.

Maybe he was protesting against the ‘Walk to Work’
