We will not allow ourselves to be cowed into silence, as doing so is
an injustice to ourselves. We will not grovel ourselves before you, as
doing so will merely serve to perpetuate impunity.

We know 2012 will go down in the ashes of the history of our country,
as a year in which there have been epic State behaviours not befitting
a democracy. What we have illustrated here, are but just a few of our

Right now, the Service has been given money by Government to clear all outstanding leave pay as well as repatriation allowances.
