ANZAC Day is nearly upon us, and once again I want to thank all those who volunteer each year to sell ANZAC Day Tokens. Thanks, but we need you again. We already have a regular group of volunteers who assist in selling Tokens, but additional sellers are always needed and appreciated. Many of you may have already received a letter seeking your help to sell ANZAC Day Tokens. If you have received a letter and wish to sell Tokens, please return the section listing your details to the RSL as soon as possible. If you did not receive a letter and wish to sell tokens for us, please contact the reception staff at the Morwell RSL Sub-Branch by phoning 5134 2455 or visit them personally and leave your name and contact details for me, Wayne Gwynne. I will then contact you and make the necessary arrangements. We will be selling tokens between Thursday 15th April and Saturday 24th April. Your previous efforts have enabled us to continually exceed our Token sales expectations and I need volunteers to make this year’s total another successful one. The only way we are able to achieve this, is by having sufficient numbers of volunteers out on the streets to “Man the Tins”. If you could spare some time at one of our selling locations, or you could sell some ANZAC Day Tokens at your place of employment, your time and effort would be greatly appreciated. All proceeds go to the RSL welfare funds, enabling them to help the older veterans and their families. All ANZAC Day Tokens $2-00 and over are Tax Deductible; the mounting card is your receipt. Wayne Gwynne, Appeals Officer. 3 Footy Tipping Competition The Morwell RSL Footy Tipping Competition is on again for the 2010 AFL Football season.

    A picture of the National Audit Office logo Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Ministry of Defence Defence capabilities – delivering what was promised HC 106 SESSION 2019–2021 18 MARCH 2020 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office (NAO) helps Parliament hold government to account for the way it spends public money. It is independent of government and the civil service. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Gareth Davies, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether government is delivering value for money on behalf of the public, concluding on whether resources have been used efficiently, effectively and with economy. The NAO identifies ways that government can make better use of public money to improve people’s lives. It measures this impact annually. In 2018 the NAO’s work led to a positive financial impact through reduced costs, improved service delivery, or other benefits to citizens, of £539 million. Ministry of Defence Defence capabilities – delivering what was promised Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on 16 March 2020 This report has been prepared under Section 6 of the National Audit Act 1983 for presentation to the House of Commons in accordance with Section 9 of the Act Gareth Davies Comptroller and Auditor General National Audit Office 12 March 2020 HC 106 | £10.00 This study examined whether the Ministry of Defence (the Department) gets the capabilities it requires when it needs them to meet its current and future defence objectives.

  • Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No
    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 290 – DECEMBER 2018 Extract from President Roosevelt’s, “Fireside Chat to the Nation”, 29 December 1940: “….we cannot escape danger by crawling into bed and pulling the covers over our heads……if Britain should go down, all of us in the Americas would be living at the point of a gun……We must produce arms and ships with every energy and resource we can command……We must be the great arsenal of democracy”. oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo The Poppies of four years ago at the Tower of London have been replaced by a display of lights. Just one of many commemorations around the World to mark one hundred years since the end of The Great War. Another major piece of art, formed a focal point as the UK commemorated 100 years since the end of the First World War. The ‘Shrouds of the Somme’ brought home the sheer scale of human sacrifice in the battle that came to epitomize the bloodshed of the 1914-18 war – the Battle of the Somme. Artist Rob Heard hand stitched and bound calico shrouds for 72,396 figures representing British Commonwealth servicemen killed at the Somme who have no known grave, many of whose bodies were never recovered and whose names are engraved on the Thiepval Memorial. Each figure of a human form, was individually shaped, shrouded and made to a name. They were laid out shoulder to shoulder in hundreds of rows to mark the Centenary of Armistice Day at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from 8-18th November 2018 filling an area of over 4000 square metres.

Image via Commonwealth of Australia, Department of Defence. In a joint counter-narcotics operation, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) seized 915 kilograms of heroin valued in excess of $274 million. A Royal New Zealand Air Force P-3K2 aircraft detected a suspicious vessel in the western Indian Ocean on 23 January 2018, which was boarded and investigated by the crew of RAN frigate HMAS Warramunga on 24 January. Over the past two months, Warramunga’s crew has seized and destroyed more than 11.5 tonnes of hashish and over a tonne of heroin, valued in excess of $900 million.* The seizures include: 27-29 December 2018: 8 tonnes of hashish, 69 kilograms of heroin, (three vessels interdicted over this period); 3 January 2018: hashish, 3.5 tonnes; 7 January 2018: heroin, 111 kilograms; and 24 January: heroin, 915 kilograms. Commander of Australian Defence Force personnel in the Middle East Rear Admiral Jaimie Hatcher said the latest operation highlighted the significant contribution both Australia and New Zealand make to maritime security in the region. “Warramunga has now interdicted six vessels carrying illegal narcotics since November," RADM Hatcher said. "This operation highlights the important role played by partner nations, as part of the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), in increasing maritime security in the Middle East and western Indian Ocean."

    NAVY NEWS WEEK 26-4 27 June 2018 NEARLY SEVEN TONS OF COCAINE WORTH $206M SEIZED BY U.S. COAST GUARD BY DORY JACKSON A crew with the U.S. Coast Guard seized roughly seven tons—12,000 pounds—of cocaine amid an 80-day period in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The 100-member Coast Guard Cutter Campbell crew returned to their home base Friday in Kittery, Maine. During their deployment, they halted six narcotic smuggling schemes and detained 24 individuals suspected of participating in the illegal act. The cocaine obtained, however, is valued at an estimated $206 million. They unloaded the narcotics in Port Everglades."I'm incredibly proud of the hard work of Campbell's law enforcement teams, my entire crew, and their shipmates aboard the cutter Active that made these impressive interdictions over the past few months possible," Cmdr. Mark McDonnell, cutter Campbell commanding officer, said in a statement. "The persistent presence of Coast Guard and partner agencies, along with our foreign nation counter-drug partners, in the highly-trafficked Eastern Pacific drug transit zone is essential to dismantling the crime networks that threaten the U.S. with their illicit activities."Added McDonnell, "These collaborative efforts and our ability to seamlessly integrate with partner agencies and nations are the key to the safe and successful execution of these complex interdiction operations."

  • All-Party Parliamentary Group Shipbuilding and Ship Repair
    1 Inquiry into the National Shipbuilding Strategy APPG Foreword As an island nation, the United Kingdom’s security and prosperity has long been associated with the seas. With the UK preparing to leave the European Union, our country’s maritime dependence is more apparent than ever and uncertainty about the UK’s sovereign capability to produce warships remains. The National Shipbuilding Strategy outlined the Government’s aspirations to reform naval procurement by reintroducing greater competition into UK shipbuilding. UK shipbuilding is primarily driven by military sources of demand and long-term national security considerations. Following its inquiry, this APPG recognises the political case for retaining the UK’s sovereign capability to produce warships. We further recognise that the UK’s position as a producer of world-class warships should be understood more widely. UK Shipbuilding has evolved from the smokestack and panel-beating industry it once was. It is now at the very forefront of innovative technologies and capabilities, as can be observed by the export success of the Type 26 frigate. However, the current ‘feast or famine’ nature of military demand threatens our ability to maintain the sovereign capability to produce warships. The National Shipbuilding Strategy significantly reduces the scope of ships that the UK is qualified to build and threatens the long-term viability of our fragile shipyards. Its approach to naval procurement is not novel. Its concepts have been tried, tested and have failed before.
