18,000 cops to be on poll duty: Police chief [Express Buzz - 2 hours ago]

...'He was pretty screwed up after tours to Iraq and East Timor and he is about to be deployed overseas again,' Mr Jarrett said. "He began self-medicating so he could function properly in normal society, when in actual fact it was doing the opposite. 'He'd lost touch with reality and was trying to block out what he had seen. 'It's no excuse (for drug abuse), but it's understandable considering many are reluctant to speak with Defence about their problems for fear of being discharged.' He said the overwhelming majority of ADF personnel seeking counselling said they turned to drugs because they could not admit to army doctors they had a problem. 'All we hear is that they don't want to go to the military medic for prescription medicine because it goes on their permanent record, making them unsuitable for deployment and, therefore, unsuitable for the ADF.' A spokesman for Defence Personnel Minister Greg Combet said rigorous schemes were in place to test anyone for drug abuse. 'We would encourage anybody who feels that they are suffering from an addiction to come forward and receive treatment straight away, as the health of our personnel is the most important thing,' he said. 'The Government will continue to monitor closely the health of all our ADF personnel that is why they undergo annual health tests. 'The information presented to us is that there has been no positive drug tests from deployed operational personnel.' Opposition defence spokesman Bob Baldwin said he would seek answers on the matter when Federal Parliament resumed tomorrow. 'I'll be asking the Minister and the department for a full briefing on this issue,' he said. 'I would be very disappointed if indeed that has been occurring and I would be looking for intervention by Defence. 'In the theatre of operation, if you have people on illicit drugs they're putting themselves and also their colleagues at risk.'"
