My question is to the Minister for Veterans' Affairs. Over a year ago, the Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal released the report recognising veterans' sacrifice. That included recommendations on how to better recognise those who died of a service related death and their families. Given this is the last sitting week before the official 50th commemoration of Australia concluding its involvement in the Vietnam War, the date being 18 August, Long Tan Day—though the war ceased before that date—will the government commit to honouring the recommendations that honour the deaths and families of our veterans?
