New sculpture to recognise the Sufferings of War and Service
16 June 2021
Minister for Veterans Affairs the Hon Darren Chester MP
FOLLOWING three years’ work with veterans, their families, ex-service organisations and the Departments of Defence and Veterans’ Affairs, a new sculpture will be placed on the grounds of the Australian War Memorial recognising the sufferings of war and service.
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Darren Chester said the sculpture would provide a permanent place at the Australian War Memorial in recognition of those who have experienced and witnessed the ongoing traumas that can result from military service.
“I have spoken with many veterans’ families and friends, including those who have lost someone to suicide, about how military service has affected them and how this can be better recognised at the Australian War Memorial,” Mr Chester said.

If you need proof that white privilege is alive and well in Saskatchewan, take a look at the anti-mask rallies and other demonstrations. This crowd of thoughtless, selfish individuals is predominantly white. I have seen no people of colour in the media footage, and I doubt that any are involved.
This group defiantly complains that somehow wearing a mask infringes on their personal freedoms. It defies logic that lying in the ICU on a ventilator is preferable to wearing a mask and practicing social distancing.

“History has been made with three ladies governing the Woodland Cree,” said Karen Bird, newly elected chief of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) after election results were confirmed on Wednesday.
“I’m happy, overjoyed and overwhelmed.”
Bird is with her home community of Southend celebrating the win. As the second woman elected to the role of chief in PBCN history Bird said she’s excited to work with Montreal Lake Cree Nation Chief Joyce Naytowhow-McLeod and Lac La Ronge Indian Band Chief Tammy Cook-Searson. She said those three Woodland Cree nations all being led by women at the same time is significant.
