QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator CADELL (New South Wales—Nationals Whip in the Senate) (14:51): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Minister Wong. Chris May is an Afghanistan veteran. He did two tours, one as a Bushmaster driver and one as a commander in which he was wounded when an IED blew up his vehicle.

This week, after meeting with Minister Keogh, he said: … I never thought the battles we'd be fighting would be the ones … in our own country. How did the Albanese government allow Australian veterans to get to this level, where they feel they have to fight their own government for the health care they earned and were promised through their service?
