It's fighting not only to remain financially solvent, but to remain relevant to the modern veteran at all. And as a result, it's not out of the question for some of the RSL state branches to be delisted as a charity. The 'RSL' brand is licensed out to other businesses keen to leverage its public goodwill, like RSL Taxis and RSL Gallipoli Tours. Meanwhile, the needs of the modern veteran and the services offered by the modern RSL are increasingly disconnected. The Libs don't want to throw more at veterans because veterans are already going to vote for them, and Labor doesn't want to throw more at veterans because veterans aren't ever going to vote for them.
