Pensions for war injuries too low says RSL official
A G W Keys national secretary of the Returned Services League told reporters in Kempsey NSW that war pensions are barely subsistence. He cited 1940 pensions as about a quarter of the basic wage, now only 1 per cent of the minimum wage, the lowest under federal awards. He noted 1920 pensions for totally incapacitated veterans rose from 32 to 47 per cent of an MP's salary, calling civil court compensation more fair.
