Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:04): Minister Keogh was wrong, but sadly for our veterans this was not one bad meeting. Minister Keogh's retrospective medals changes were condemned by veterans before he was forced to retreat. Then he withdrew longstanding travel support for the parents of VC recipient Cameron Baird VC, MG before public outrage forced your government to back down.

Now veterans say they have lost trust and confidence in him. How many times does Minister Keogh have to fail veterans before the Prime Minister finally accepts they deserve someone better? (Time expired)
