The Commando Welfare Trust unequivocally supports Mrs Gina Rinehart's proposal that surplus Defence sites earmarked for divestment be repurposed as housing for veterans.
As the main charity supporting SOCOMD soldiers, veterans and families on the east coast, we see this problem first hand.
Housing instability remains one of the most significant challenges facing the veteran community.
These sites are already built and already owned by government, which makes repurposing them a practical and low cost way to make a direct and lasting difference.
We believe this is the best solution available to get 6000 homeless veterans off our streets.
We are proud to be associated with an Australian who has done so much for the veteran community and for the country more broadly.
Thank you, Mrs Rinehart, for bringing this proposal forward and for your continued commitment to the men and women who have served.
