Labor slams F-111 payouts
Australia's Labor Party critised the government's guidelines for compensation payments to former RAAF F-111 maintenance workers.

Labor said the guidelines were arbitrary. For example, the compensation is based on the days exposed to toxic chemicals while working. Those would are exposed to less than 30 days might have experienced more intense exposure than those who satisfied it.

And the difference between 29 days and 30 days exposure is $30,000 in payouts.
