Bob Baldwin (Paterson, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Defence Science and Personnel) Share this | Hansard source

My question without notice is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, I draw your attention to the front page of the Canberra Times, to an article titled ‘SAS troops face expulsion for speaking out over pay’. Can the Prime Minister explain why serving members of the SAS special forces continue to receive debt notices of up to $50,000 for their overseas service and continue to have their wages reduced, despite the guarantee by your Minister for Defence to this House four months ago that this problem would be fixed? Is this any way to treat our troops?
