19.01.2022 Workshop News Safety Rail for walkway. The photos show the construction of a safety rail for the walkway on the northern boundary. This is just one of many maintenance projects that have been undertaken over the end of year shutdown for the Workshop.... This particular project is being done by Bill Rosenberg and Don Lees, with Greg Wells helping with the posts for the railing. It is projects like these where we rely on the unstinting efforts of workshop members, volunteers one and all, and their willing help is very much appreciated, and certainly not taken for granted.

16.01.2022 Our websites down, but we’re still here! Hope everyone has a great weekend ! Gumtree sales have been going well. This week we sold all our tumeric- about 25 kg ! Still lots of items available to buy.

16.01.2022 Columboola Country Veterans Retreat. We are located 1/2 way between Chinchilla & Miles, Qld. We have a 265 acre property, with plenty of remote camping spots. We also have powered sites and also fully self contained cabins and cottages. The feedback that we are getting from veterans of all ages has been remarkable.... I have owned Columboola Country for the past 17years. We are not a sudden ‘pop up retreat’. Every dollar received here at Columboola, is returned into the retreat. We have a second business (marquee hire) that also returns all profits back into Columboola Country. We are open to the general public, however, we do not promote to the general public as much anymore. Our prices are: Caravan/ Camping - $10/person per night. Powered areas - additional $5/ site per night. Cabins start from $70/ night *Every 3rd night is free* Veterans receive an additional 25% off these prices.... If you feel the above information about our retreat would benefit any of your members? Please feel free to let anybody/ everybody know.

16.01.2022 Parliamentary Petition 2 Gold card provision for Veterans under DRCA legislation Petition Reason... Veterans that have sole entitlement and eligibility under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act 1988 (DRCA), are being significantly disadvantaged by comparison to those persons with, Veterans Entitlement Act 1986 (VEA) or Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA) entitlement, in that the DRCA does not accommodate provision of a Gold Card. The Gold Card can best simply be explained, as, providing an entitled person virtually unrestricted treatment to all medical conditions, be they as a result of defence service or not, who suffers significant or compounding injury or disease, as a result of their defence service. Timewise, broadly speaking, DRCA entitlement resides between the two other Veterans legislation, and it defies logic that a person is being deprived provision of a Gold Card, when another person with comparative injuries and/or illnesses, who enlisted earlier or later, has Gold Card entitlement. The Gold Card was reintroduced under MRCA, and this leads to the conclusion that the legislators, for whatever reason erred in not including a Gold Card provision under DRCA, and this is now clearly not reflective of public intent or spirit. The decision to deprive Gold Card entitlement to those under DRCA can now be viewed as regressive and unreasonable, and it had an arguably unintended and overly harsh consequence. Petition Request We therefore ask the House to initiate such processes to cause amendment to the DRCA that will result in person with DRCA entitlement to be provided a Gold Card, where a disease or injury mirrors their MRCA counterpart. https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN2585
