No move to abolish CME Barnard
The Committee of Inquiry into the Citizens Military Forces will not push for abolishing the CMF or other reserves. Defence Minister Barnard said the committee’s evidence and deliberations show Australia will need reserve forces for the foreseeable future. The CMF should offer ample and rewarding part time service opportunities, and the committee will propose ways to improve effectiveness. An interim report has been received with final findings due weeks away after over 1000 submissions and consultations.
