Petition · past parliament

Award the Long Service Medal to Officers who retired before 29 April 2014.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The qualifying date before 29 April 2014 is arbitrary and discriminates against those who served loyally before then. While funding may well be a key issue, the provision of the medal upon repayment could be considered.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Review eligibility date for Officers to get Long Service & Good Conduct medal.
