“Mr Abbott has served as a member of the Council since 2019 and his reappointment will provide the Council experience and stability during a seminal period.
“Tony’s experience is well known and his dedication and passion for serving our nation is undisputed Tony has always been an advocate for our nation’s veterans.”
