Why many of our veterans aren't getting the support they need
The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald
Pressure continues to pile up on the systems intended to support our military veterans. The government agency charged with meeting veterans’ needs is cutting services and has a year-long waiting list. The VIP scheme, until now, had been seen as a way of acknowledging service and offering support to those otherwise excluded from our veterans’ welfare system. So, as we come together to remember the fallen – is it about time we start thinking more about those who survived? Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior writer David Fisher joins to discuss Veterans’ Affairs – and how to better support those who served.
