Dear Terry,

Thank you for writing to Senator Brown - I refer to your letter dated 29 May 2007. I am also responding on behalf of Senator Christine Milne's office who forwarded your letter onto us.

In terms of resolving the matter of the alleged miscarriage of justice towards Australia's Veterans, I recommend that one avenue you may wish to peruse to is to refer the matter to Commonwealth Ombudsman. The Ombudsman has access to legal resources that would enable them to interpret the legal documentation that your letter refers to; they also have the ability to undertake a thorough investigation into the conduct of government agencies. The Ombudsman can be contacted by phoning 1300 362 072.

All the best,

Anna Sildever
Office of Senator Bob Brown
