QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr THOMPSON (Herbert) (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Minister for Defence Personnel. This morning, Renee Wilson, the CEO of the Families of Veterans Guild and partner of combat wounded Gary Wilson, told the media that the first she heard of the minister's discussion paper about his cruel cap was in question time yesterday. Why on earth hasn't the minister picked up the phone to the CEO of the organisation representing Australia's war widows?
