QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms PRICE (Durack) (14:42): My question is to the Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Minister for Defence Personnel. This morning, the Chair of Women Veterans Australia said the minister was delaying the release of a women veterans strategy. I quote: 'I know a strategy with some great recommendations, and we're yet to see that come out of the minister's office despite lobbying.

Almost a year later, that hasn't been publicly published. Progress has stalled now, with this strategy sitting with the minister, and, quite frankly, we feel like we're being gaslit.' Minister, why are you gaslighting female veterans?
