Salvos and Young Labor stop taking the tablets

Salvos back Young Labor draft plan

Sydney, NSW, Australia: "The Salvation Army has backed calls by NSW Young Labor for high school students to contribute to the community through compulsory national service.

"'We're fully supporting this initiative,' Salvation Army spokesman Pat Daley said.

"'There is a growing awareness in the community about the need to assist people who find themselves in difficult circumstances.

"'Anything that's going to educate young people about the need to assist the less fortunate is a step in the right direction.'

"The state branch of Young Labor, the youth wing of the Australian Labor Party, supported mandatory national service for high school students as part of their graduation, the Herald reported today."
