Future of the
"Mortality Files"
DVA's
New
Online Nominal Roll of Vietnam Veterans has been telegraphed for over a
year now. Whilst there is no method of accessing the dates of
death of Vietnam Veterans since their Vietnam Service I believe DVA have the information (It's supplied by undertakers and
others) and technically it could be readily made available.
There should be no
objections because of the "Privacy Principles". The same
"Privacy Principles" apply to a lot of the information already
made public in the online nominal roll.
They could provide a
vastly superior service to what I provide.
I've written to the
new Minister - hyperlink to copy of letter below.
It's a fairly low cost option which
has a number of potential applications.
John Howard is
updating the Excel files so you can send him any information.
I'll upload John's
files as he send them to me. The first update is on the web
site.
John's email is:
