QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr THOMPSON (Herbert) (14:56): To the veterans here today, I see you. My question is to the Minister for Veterans' Affairs. Earlier this year, the minister had to be dragged kicking and screaming to restore funding to Doug and Kaye Baird, the parents of slain Victoria Cross recipient Cameron Baird, VC, MG.

Yesterday, the minister had to be dragged kicking and screaming to meet with veterans about his cruel cuts to their allied health care. Will you now do the right thing, Minister, and scrap the $5,000 allied health cap?
