Defence's own figures show that the Tasmanian sites on Labor's fire-sale list are used by around 300 reservists and 450 cadets. Nationally up 3,300 reservists will be impacted by the sale—around 15 per cent of the reserve workforce. Minister, how can the government claim to strengthen Defence readiness while selling off the very facilities that train our future force who already do so much for our country?
