Mick Remember when early in 1974, Gough Whitlam was in financial difficulties, after borrowing money from a Mr Kalafoni a Pakanasti money lender plus an oil merchant buying and selling crude oil, wanted his money back, The P.M. had no money so decided that he would only pay the Defense Forces, and Public Servants 75% of their pay, the P S said belt up, full pay or no pay...No deal!! Gough then borrowed ???? no way of paying it back from the Defense Forces Retirement Benefits'. DFRB To keep the service personnel and most importantly income so he formed the Defense Forces Retirement and DEATH Benefits. DFRDB. Most if not all of us lost money in this. It was on the Computer as DFRDB< the Whitlam Years Cabinet Papers > The papers are now on the Archives, and will take years to find them...Unless you know a way in them, I sent 4+ hours today. no luck Bernie Replies:
