I will be very brief, given the time. I have two questions for the minister. Firstly, can he provide any detail to the House regarding what commitments have been made with respect to funding for the children of Vietnam veterans health study? That is an issue on which I can assure him there is cross-party support. Secondly, the minister would also be aware there has been quite a furore in elements of the veterans community regarding comments attributed to him in the Cynthia Banham article in the SMH some time ago. I would like to give him the opportunity to clarify that on the public record.
