ADF to lower fitness requirements to boost recruitment targets

Sky News host Liz Storer says the Australian Defence Force is “not recruiting” people at the rate that the people are leaving. The ADF is set to lower fitness and health standards in order to boost recruitment. Ms Storer said the targets are 80,000 and we’re currently sitting on just 57,000. “These guys have decided if we just drop the fitness requirements, maybe more kids will get on board. “So great, now we just get less fit people in the armed forces.”
