DEFGLIS Brisbane Co-ordinator Karl Metzger is raising money with his unit for Legacy Australia. Earlier this month, Karl spent five days living below extreme poverty line to raise $1180.00 for the anti-poverty campaign "Living Below the Line."

On 14 June 2013, 5 teams from the 2nd General Health Battalion (2 GHB) will run a total of 100km around Brisbane City (Southbank), using their strength to show ongoing support to Legacy and their committment to so many people in their time of need.

International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia will be celebrated in the Australian Defence Force this year with a number of events occurring at various units and bases around Australia.  DEFGLIS has put together a prezi to help raise awareness of LGBTI people and encourage greater inclusion.

Australians and New Zealanders have a long history of partnership and cooperation.  Our countries are neighbours with friendship firmly rooted in our shared ethics, values, and adorable accents that other English speakers around the world tend to mix up.  Our kinship is clearly evident in our cultural, sporting, and social connections, including our longstanding military partnership, with a strong ANZAC history bridging the Tasman Sea.
