The Hon Alan Griffin MP
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs
25 July 2008
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
This Government went to the last election promising to give veterans and ex-service personnel a greater
voice at the highest levels of government.
As part of that commitment I am meeting with veterans to discuss the structure and role of the new Prime
Ministerial Advisory Council on Ex-service Matters.
The Advisory Council will provide a forum for the veteran and defence community to speak directly with
the Government and raise issues of importance.
I will be in Melbourne on Friday 1 August. I invite all members of the local veteran and defence
community interested in the Advisory Council to share their thoughts directly with me at that meeting.
An effective Advisory Council will help ensure we continue to respond to the needs of our current and
former servicemen and women.
Further details of the meetings and copies of submissions are available at
minister.dva.gov.au/PMAC/index.htm.
Alan Griffin MP
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs
