1. In 2008, General David Morrison had urged the federal government NOT to recognise the 2nd D&E Platoon because ‘amending archives was high risk’ and ‘could open the floodgates to others to might want to correct the official records.’In other words, this bastard preferred the official records to remain false and inaccurate- and to hell with military integrity and the service histories of the men involved in such units.
This also explains why the Australian War Memorial refuses to release the 235 documents it holds concerning the 2nd D&E Platoon despite its own (and the government’s FOI policies).
How can anyone support the deliberate falsification of war records?
2. And it’s interesting to note that before he retired, General Morrison wanted the Army website ‘revamped’ and paid Deloitte Australia $2,600,000 to do it- and now, Deloitte is paying him $200,000 to advise it on because he is an ‘amazing role model and advocate for diversity and inclusion, gender equality and fairness.’
What a load of want!

Suse as usual you are a very rational writer and make a lot of sense. Thank you for the comments. Editor
What an ABSOLUTE piece of GARBAGE is this Morrison. To be awarded Australian of the Year is an insult to every Decent Australian. Sounds like he never participated in any sort of active duty or he would no doubt have a different view of the sacrifice made by the Vets and those who are currently fighting under the Australian Flag. The fact that he has used his time As Chief of Army to concentrate and focus on looking after the Transgenders and making sure they get their costly surgery at tax payer expense, or those who want to play at being a woman and gain notoriety but are not willing to go under the knife (probably due to still being attracted to women) but still take advantage of all female amenities is a disgrace to the Australian Defence Force and an insult to current female members of the ADF who have to share the amenities with men in drag. What sort of Defence force culture is being bred by these useless leaders…Well, time we all woke up and realised that they are trying to weaken our borders and our Defence force overall as part of the Socialist order (read Pro Islamic UN) and why they are also pushing the Islamic recruits. The nancier the Shim the better…perhaps they can exchange lipstick colours or mineral makeup tips with the enemy or can you imagine any islamic DF member taking up arms in Defense of Australia in Iraq, Pakistan or under attack from Indonesian islamic extremists? No!! they will get cushy desk jobs that gives them access to security documents that can be used against us while pushing the cause of islam in Australia as we have already witnessed navy@islam.
