Yes. The intention presumably is to get Junior folk to go on LWOP indefinitely (obviously the longer the better to avoid the possibility of coming off LWOP just to be made redundant on your return) until there is work for them, which stops the accrual of leave entitlements and I'd suspect simplifies to operation. How much is 6 weeks of leave a year worth, compared to the possibility of CR? I don't know. The 7th of August is the same day the VR applications close, so we won't know how many have taken it when we are supposed to already be on LWOP to avoid CR. You have to admit, it's industrially brilliant.
Forewarned is forearmed, as they say.
