Wayne Swan delivered his fifth budget, and again, we are seeing a further increase in debt. Through accounting tricks and shuffling money between months and years, the Treasurer is making a false claim about having turned around his record of debt and deficit.
Here we have it again: another year, another increase in borrowings; another year, yet more put on the national credit card.
Many brave Australians have risked their lives to help defend our country.Some have contributed to our defence in times of war but also times of peace and it is vital that we recognise their service. Medals such as the Anniversary of National Service Medal and the Australian Defence Medal help commemorate and recognise the contribution made to Australia by people in our community.
I have included links to the application forms for these medals. Completed forms may be returned to my office at 12 Pascoe Vale Road, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039 for submission. If you require any further information about these or any other medals or awards, please do not hesitate to contact my office on (03) 9326 1088.
