I think more training would have been beneficial but still I pose my earlier question: Who pays?
HT, saying that AUSSAR is responsible for paying doesn't solve the question. It only transfers it up the line. In which case the question becomes: "Who pays for AUSSAR?"
That makes it a matter for governmental budgetary priorities.
As I understand it, AUSSAR payed for our initial & recurrent training as well as meeting the bill for any callout.
