The Canberra Times reports that the ever expanding War Memorial has forced the government to blink over its budget and Julia Gillard has ordered a review:
Former defence chief Peter Cosgrove has condemned continuing funding cuts to the Australian War Memorial, warning about 30 jobs will be axed and more programs will be shutdown.
It has emerged that Prime Minister Julia Gillard has intervened, ordering the Finance Minister and Veterans’ Affairs Minister to review the memorial’s budget and report to cabinet.
