QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr McCORMACK (Riverina) (14:30): My question is to the Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Minister for Defence Personnel. RSL Australia president, former Western Australian Labor minister and decorated military veteran Peter Tinley AM described Labor's cruel cuts to allied health services: … veterans and their families will rightly question a Budget that gives with one hand while taking with the other.

RSL Australia opposes the cap and is calling for it to be withdrawn. Can the minister name a single ex-service organisation—just one—which supports his plan to cap access to allied health services for Australian veterans, Australian heroes?
