Common sense has prevailed. And honestly? It's about bloody time. After weeks of public outcry, the Australian government has reinstated funding to Invictus Australia, the community‑based organisation that uses sport and rehabilitation programs to support veterans and their families. But Invictus wasn't the only veteran support issue on the chopping block; across town, politicians were also clashing over capping veterans' allied health support, a separate but equally damaging fight. The decision to restore Invictus funding came after veterans, families, ex‑service organisations, and everyday Australians made it crystal clear: you do not cut a lifeline.
