QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:54): We all care. I think everyone in this chamber cares and I think everyone across this parliament cares for the experience of veterans and respects the service they have given. This minister has focused a great deal on ensuring that the recommendations of the royal commission are implemented.

He has obtained collectively additional funding for the portfolio in order to implement those recommendations, and that process continues. I think we all understand the importance of the consultations that he is engaging in not just for the purpose of the consultations but to ensure that these issues are resolved, going forward. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cadell, second supplementary?
