THE Young Liberals are proposing nine months of compulsory national service for all young Australians, to be completed before age 24.And the reason for this:
The service would not be restricted to the military but include community and foreign service and trades.
Under the plan, young Australians could do their service overseas, working in foreign aid and development, either in programs run by the Australian government or helping non-government bodies such as the Red Cross or Doctors Without Frontiers,,,
Young Liberal president Noel McCoy said the aim was to provide a sizeable low-cost workforce that would help to offset the effects of the financial crisis.
In other words slave labour. Have they got rocks in their heads or what?

Further thoughts, I think Obama proposed something similar during his campaign, have they Young Libs been watching too much American politics?
