It is important to say that I constantly get comments about the fact that people such as myself and my colleagues Deputies Berry and Stanton and Senator Wilson are negative about the Defence Forces. We have the representative bodies here this evening. Their final statement this evening was about the wonderful career that Defence Force membership offers people. We need to compliment them on this. I want to propose that we accept, as a committee, the amendments brought forward by the representative bodies and that we make this recommendation strongly to the Department.
