RETURN OF THE NASHO
Young Labor wants to bring back national service:
The [NSW] group’s president, Sam Dastyari, said there were too many young people who were not willing to contribute to society. “It does not mean you would have to do military service or be an army cadet,” he said.
“The community service could take many forms, from being an army cadet to helping with chores at the local retirement village. It could be helping community groups or churches or charities.”
As long as they have to carry guns, no matter where they’re deployed, I approve. National service opponent Saint Gough won’t be happy:
One of Gough Whitlam’s first actions on being elected prime minister in 1972 was to abolish it.
