ARMED FORCED COVENANT

Do we all understand what an Armed Forces Covenant is and contains? Here is a copy of the UK Armed Forces Covenant. Seems quite sensible to me. But, how is something like this going to work when we in New Zealand are about to introduce three ‘classes’ of veterans? The intent of the Veteran Recognition Bill is a ‘croc’ and should proceed no further. There is no need for further legislation. We already have an act that governs veterans, so expand it if necessary. We need to ensure that Veterans are governed by one Bill, which, like it or not, is the Veterans Support Act 2014.
