I rise to speak on the Defence, Veterans' and Families' Acute Support Package Bill 2022. This bill is critically important to the parliament and it follows a piece of legislation which came into the House last night about support in this place for defence personnel—for veterans who have served the nation. We passed a resolution last night where we provided financial packages for veterans who have returned to try to deal with their PTSD, so that they could study and be on the same level of remuneration.

I believe that this bill before us has support from both sides of the House. I see that the shadow minister for defence has moved into the House; I will conclude my comments and commend the bill to the House. I'd ask the minister to add to my comments.
