QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (14:16): Minister, again, look at the pattern: medals, backflip; Invictus, backflip; the Baird family, backflip; meeting veterans, 'I got it wrong.' And now veterans are again pleading with the government to reconsider its $5,000 allied health threshold. How many more times do veterans have to force Minister Keogh to do his job before the Prime Minister finds someone who'll do it properly in the first place?
