Resettling Returning Soldiers in Western Australia
Perth leaders discuss plans to rehouse returning soldiers in remunerative work across the state. Estimates show ten to twenty percent may never return, another half may find jobs, and fifteen to twenty percent will need friendly assistance due to injuries or illness. Proposals include independent farming for uninjured men and poultry farming for partly incapacitated soldiers, with pensions and light work to support those unable to resume previous roles.
