\nA Shorten Labor Government will give our ADF members choice to select their issued boots for service – our ADF members aren\u2019t one size fits all, and their boots shouldn\u2019t be, either.
\nOur military personnel are our most critical ADF capability. It is vital they are well equipped to perform at their best and deliver on their mission.
\nADF members work day in, day out, in their kit and, like us, our ADF personnel are not one-size fits all.
\nThat\u2019s why Labor will recognise the importance of our ADF personnel being fitted with a more individual approach.
\nLabor\u2019s approach will see Defence provide a greater range of pre-approved boots to fit the needs of the ADF personnel and Defence\u2019s requirements.
\nLabor will establish a panel of providers to let ADF members choose from a range of pre-approved boots that best meet their individual needs while also meeting the requirements of their service.
\nThis will give members more choice and flexibility to suit their individual needs while maintaining ADF requirements.
\nThe success of the ADF depends, in part, on the quality and appropriateness of personnel clothing and equipment.
\nLabor is committed to supporting the principle of greater choice for packs. We will work with experts in Government to determine the feasibility of expanding greater access to packs which suit both our ADF personnel and their operational requirements.
\nOur ADF personnel\u2019s safety and wellbeing is a priority to Labor. That is why we are committed to ensuring our ADF members have the best possible equipment that meets their individual needs, ensures their physical health, and in turn produces better outcomes for the ADF.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
