DISCLAIMER: Opinions expressed in our quarterly newsletters are not necessarily those of our Patron, Executive or Committee. We welcome any input as long as it is not offensive or abusive but if any member has a problem with a printed article we would like to be informed in order that the author may be contacted. We do encourage your opinion. To our member, Rod Hogan. In our “Messages from Members” in our last quarterly Issue (“Battle for Australia” Newsletter, SPRING Issue 2020) page 10, I mistakenly referred to Rod’s late brother (and our esteemed padre) Brian, as Paul!! For some reason my mind wrote Paul Hogan (the comedian). He played in the same rugby league side (Sydney Harbour Bridge) that I captained for three years in the Sydney Metropolitan Rugby League Competition in the early 1960’s.He is not related to our Hogan’s! I spoke to Rod when he rang me about the error and we both had a laugh. I also said I wonder if Sandra (the late Brian’s wife) will pick up this error? She didn’t! Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven’t met yet! A “Special” notice to all the current (and past) serving members of the Health Company of 5 CSSB/5 Field Ambulance who are not members of our Association. We would like you to join us and tell us about yourselves. This invitation is also extended to the very committed 206 ACU members. 3 LIFE MEMBERS (Please contact me if I have omitted your name or if any corrections are needed) Mr. Samuel ALEXANDER MAJ Eileen HENDERSON OAM # Mr. Mike O’KEEFFE WO 11 Michael ALI OAM RFD (nee Anderson) Mr. Chris O’REILLY COL Suresh BADAMI OAM RFD LTCOL Kym HENDERSON RFD COL John OVERTON AM # Mr. Adam BAILEY Mr. Rodney HOGAN RFD Mr. Trevor BARNES RFD MAJ James HOOLAN Jr. USMC WO 2 Steve PARIS (Ret'd) WO 1 Warren BARNES OAM (Ret'd) MAJGEN John PEARN AO RFD Mr. Alan BECKERLEG Mr. Edward HUNG CStJ Mr. Fred BELL LTCOL Sandy HUNT-SHARMAN Mr. Barry PERIGO Mr. Robert ('Scotty') BOYD RFD (Ret'd) # Mrs. Heather PERIGO # Mr. Greg BROWN Mr. Kevin HURRELL Mr. Peter PETHER Dr. Harding BURNS OAM # Mrs. Norma HUTTON LTCOL David PHILLIPS RFD Mr. Bob BUTLER COL Ray HYSLOP OAM RFD Mrs. Karen PHILLIPS (nee LTCOL Derek CANNON RFD CAPT Jim ILIOPOULOS Stead) # Mrs Edna CANNON CAPT Natalie ILIOPOULOS WO 1 Ken PHILLIPS OAM Mr. Greg CANT (nee Polydoropoulos) Mr. Bob PINK OAM # M/s Felicity CAREY (nee Evans) Mr. Terry IRVINE OAM Mr. John PRICE WO1 Michael CARLSON (Ret'd) Mrs. Ann JACKSON Dr. F.G.

  • 15 February 2012 Senate Additional Estimates
    Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade 15 February 2012 Senate Additional Estimates Ql - Detainee Management in Afghanistan Senator Ludlam asked on Wednesday 15 February 2012, Hansard page 32. Can you table as much information as you can on the activities ofthe Inter-agency Detainee Monitoring Team in Afghanistan? Response: As part ofits military operations in Afghanistan, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) conducts detention operations to remove insurgent and criminal elements from the battlefield when required for reasons ofsecurity or where persons are suspected of committing serious crimes. Detention operations contribute to the ongoing security of the local population and Afghanistan and provide the ADF and coalition personnel with a measure offorce protection. ADF personnel are required to treat detainees humanely and with dignity and respect in accordance with Australian values and our domestic and international legal obligations. The proper treatment ofdetainees apprehended by the ADF in Afghanistan fundamentally underpins our legitimacy in the eyes ofthe local population, as well as the international community. After detainees have undergone initial screening and questioning at the ADF screening facility in Uruzgan, they may be transferred to either Afghan custody in Tarin Kot or US custody at the Detention Facility in Parwan (DFiP), or released if there is insufficient evidence to justify their ongoing detention or to support a prosecution through the Afghan judicial system. As part ofAustralia's detainee management framework in Afghanistan, Australian officials monitor detainees transferred to both Afghan and US custody in order to assess their welfare and treatment, including the conditions in which they are detained, in accordance with the detainee transfer arrangements we have with the Afghan and US Governments.

    Teachers Notes Lennie the Legend: Solo to Sydney by Pony ABOUT LENNIE THE LEGEND Lennie the Legend is a fictionalised retelling of the true story of a nine-year-old boy’s amazing 1,000- kilometre solo journey on his pony Ginger Mick from Leongatha in Victoria to Sydney in New South Wales. It was 1932 and Lennie wanted to experience firsthand the opening of the engineering marvel of his day––the now iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Along the way, Lennie braved bushfires and horse thieves, met lots of interesting and important people, and became a ‘little legend’. Featuring photographs, advertisements, maps and images from the time, this story brings to life one boy’s experiences during the Depression years in Australia in the 1930s. USING LENNIE THE LEGEND IN THE CLASSROOM Lennie the Legend is a companion book to Dr Reeder’s award-winning titles Lost!

Story page 3 Published by the Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia Inc Editor Ron Batchelor email [email protected] Print Post Approved - PP100002097 VOLUME 29 NO3 2018 SEPTEMBER 2018 Presidents Report – Slipstream SEPTEMBER 2018 G’Day Everyone, We have recently enjoyed an influx of members of RAN Helicopter Flight Vietnam to Canberra to receive their much-deserved Unit Citation for Gallantry awards at a ceremony at the Australian War Memorial. While not every available member of HFV could attend, the ceremony was a fantastic occasion and drew to a close a matter that the entire membership of the FAAAA can take great pride in. Our FAAAA Federal Council Meeting/AGM and Reunion are fast approaching and all the usual preparations are in full swing. I will be on duty overseas during that time and will miss the meeting and reunion unfortunately. Phil Carey will stand in for me for the events. Our colleagues in the Defence Force Welfare Association have convinced several politicians to take up the cause of a military covenant, similar to that brought in to Britain for the British Armed Forces in 2011. In essence, the military covenant is an acceptance by the nation that the preparedness of military people to sacrifice themselves for our nation requires in return the nation to accept responsibility for the veterans after their service is complete. Both sides of politics in Australia appear to be in favour which is a good thing, and if it can become a bipartisan motion of both Houses of Parliament, it may smooth matters with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other areas of Government for us all.
