Plausible but retarded if true.
Funding is committed to expand the ADF by about 20% over the next few years. ADF recruitment is an outsource contract. Manpower had it forever but lost the last contract bid and Adecco takes over on 1 July this year.
The ADF is struggling to fill some roles like medtech, engineers and chaplains, but also forecasting probs finding new type roles (eg UAV pilots).
Trust in media in Oz is collapsing. Trying to make military sexy using MSM to psyop will fail.
