Western Australia urged to rally against defence barracks divestment
Irwin Barracks and Leeuwin Barracks are still up for sale despite the federal government bowing to pressure and abandoning the sale of Victoria Barracks in New South Wales.
Press PLAY to hear Duncan Anderson explain why Leeuwin and Irwin Barracks should be kept for defence personnel
RSL state president Duncan Anderson told 6PR Breakfast hosts Millsy and Karl that these sites are still needed for defence, especially with AUKUS in Henderson.
“There aren’t enough homes for the US and UK personnel that’ll be moving to Australia as part of AUKUS, so why wouldn’t you use Leeuwin Barracks for that and keep it?” Anderson said.
