I think he means,in this article, the Australian Department of Veterans Affairs and they are probably no different than our VA.

"Approximately 60,000 Australians served in the war; 521 were killed and more than 3,000 were wounded.[3]"

I did mention that was not here, but I do think its relevant that AUSTRALIAN troops committ suicide because of a poor VA, and, of course, "our" VA would not do that, right?
