Western Victoria Region
Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (12:47): (305) My question is for the Minister for Veterans in the other place, Minister Suleyman. What is the Andrews Labor government doing to support Vietnam veterans and Vietnam veterans’ RSL sub-branches in the Western Victoria Region? Friday 18 August is an important time in our nation’s history, commemorating Vietnam Veterans Day, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War. Our service men and women have given so much to our state and our nation. At 11 am at the Warrnambool Cemetery a lone bugle will sound the last post, honouring privates William Carroll and Graham Warburton for their service. At Camperdown Private Ian Scott will be remembered, as will Private Ralph Niblett at Cobden. I thank our RSLs for commemorating this anniversary in such a pertinent and personal way.
