    MEDIA RELEASE – September 5, 2016 Ex-SAS Amputee on 10,000km Charity Ride to Support Injured Veterans Vietnam veteran Laurie ‘Truck’ Sams left Perth today to cross the Nullarbor on the hardest leg of his 10,000km bike ride from Hanoi to Sydney to raise awareness for post-traumatic stress disorder and veteran suicide. Truck’s determination to complete the epic 10,000km ride was buoyed by the news that former Governor-General Major General Michael Jeffery AC, AO(Mil), CVO, MC (Retd) had agreed to support the 10,000km ride as official patron. “Mike Jeffery’s endorsement is a huge boost because it adds real horsepower to our objective of generating greater community awareness and support,” he said standing on the picturesque South Perth foreshore beside a large van brandishing his Victory over PTSD logo. A former Special Air Service Regiment Warrant Officer who lost his left leg below the knee in a parachute accident in 1995, Truck and his trusty Trek bike have logged 73 days and 5830km since leaving Hanoi on May 12 carrying an Australian flag he wants to hand to the Prime Minister in Canberra on Remembrance Day. “We’ve had to contend with bucketing rain, high winds, and the chaotic roads of Asia in the monsoon season, almost being beheaded by a front-end loader on Route 1 in Vietnam and sliding under an out of control gravel truck in heavy mud further south near Vinh city,” he said. “But the toughest test will be the Nullarbor – it is totally unforgiving of man and machinery and we’ve had to prepare like we’re going into battle.” Riding with Truck on the wheat belt leg will be Fremantle-based former SAS Trooper Mat Jones, 44, who served in East Timor, The Solomons, Afghanistan and Iraq and is now with the WA office of Lockforce Consultancy International, a major sponsor of the six-month charity ride.

  • Sas Resources Fund History 1996-2016
    SPECIAL AIR SERVICE RESOURCES FUND 5 SAS RESOURCES FUND HISTORY 1996-2016 November 2016 SPECIAL AIR SERVICE RESOURCES FUND 6 FOREWORD If there was one single glimmer of light to emerge from the ashes of the 1996 Blackhawk disaster, it would certainly be the creation of the Special Air Service Resources Fund. While the unit was understandably reeling from its worst ever loss, and rightfully focused on rebuilding the short notice Counter Terrorism capability that Australia relies upon it to provide, a selfless group of individuals coalesced, unprompted, and set about creating this amazing institution. In doing so, they reacted swiftly, decisively and generously; and have continued to ever since. The 20 years since the Blackhawk tragedy represents about a “generation” within the Special Air Service Regiment; the unit’s most senior soldiers today were young troopers or lance corporals back in 1996 when the accident occurred. Sadly, during that generation, almost every single member of the unit has experienced the loss of a friend in training or combat. But on each occasion, in the midst of their grief, our men and women have also seen the Fund immediately step into action. As a result, we have witnessed the children of our fallen mates grow up, being cared for by the Fund. No one can replace a lost father or husband but through its financial support and empathy, the Fund provides a backbone of solace in this darkest of situations. By virtue of this fact, every time our soldiers step forward into the breach, they do so confident in the knowledge that should they fall in the service of this country, the Fund has their back, and will continue to take care of that which is most precious to them.

  • Major General Michael
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL - Thursday, 26 June 2003] p9318b-9319a Hon Kim Chance; Hon Norman Moore MAJOR GENERAL MICHAEL JEFFERY, AC, MC, GOVERNOR GENERAL OF AUSTRALIA Motion HON KIM CHANCE (Agricultural - Leader of the House) [10.25 am]: I move without notice - That this House congratulates and offers its best wishes to Major General Michael Jeffery, AC, MC, a Western Australian and former Governor of Western Australia, on his appointment as Governor General of Australia. I move this motion to provide the House with the opportunity to express its congratulations to a Western Australian, Major General Michael Jeffery, following the recent announcement by the Prime Minister that the former Governor of Western Australia will be appointed to the post of Governor General effective from 11 August this year. I have met, as have other members, with the previous Western Australian Governor on a number of occasions. I have a high regard for this courageous and outspoken individual who has risen to the highest post in the country from his origins in Wiluna, Western Australia. It is testimony to Australia’s tradition of equality that a person from Wiluna, who, after a lifetime contribution and dedication to the interest of his country, can take up the highest post in the land. After receiving his secondary education in Perth, Michael Jeffery went to the Royal Military College, Duntroon at the age of 16. Major General Michael Jeffery went on to have an unblemished record of military service to his country. He served with distinction as a company commander in Vietnam where he was decorated with a Military Cross.

    SUBMISSION 73 Submission by Constitution Education Fund – Australia to Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters Inquiry into Civics and Electoral Education June 2006 Mrs Kerry Jones Mr Noel Hadjimichael Executive Director Deputy Executive Director Level 13, 189 Kent St Level 13, 189 Kent St Sydney NSW 2000 Sydney NSW 2000 [email protected] [email protected] Phone 02 9251 8511 Phone 02 9251 8511 INTRODUCTION The Constitution Education Fund – Australia (CEF-A) welcomes the Joint Standing Committee’s Inquiry into Civics and Electoral Education. CEF-A is delighted to make a submission to the Inquiry as a key private provider of civics and electoral education in Australia. We would welcome any opportunity to expand on our submission or provide further information during the hearings phase of the Inquiry. CEF-A believes that the terms of reference reflect long–standing community concerns regarding the level of knowledge possessed by citizens and permanent residents about our civil society and the electoral process. In addition, the Inquiry’s strong focus on youth, indigenous and migrant community needs respond to perceived shortfalls in current practices and outreach efforts. The value of sound civics knowledge and an effective exercise of the franchise, given Australia’s internationally respected system of fair and free elections, are highlighted by the sense of urgency expressed by both expert bodies of the past and current Australians in high office: “We are most concerned at the widespread ignorance of the Constitution and of the major impact it has on life in Australia. We believe there is a real need to educate people in at least its basic scheme and provision.
