QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr WILKIE (Clark) (14:20): My question is to the Minister for Veterans' Affairs. Minister, the Defence and Veterans Workshop, in Hobart, has supported serving and ex-serving personnel since 1980. It's an essential service and is more important than ever if the government is fair dinkum about addressing the findings of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide.

But, Minister, the workshop will be homeless if Derwent Barracks are sold off. So what will you do about that? Does the government commit to ensuring the workshop remains in situ or is funded to secure a new facility?
