Alright, there might be a person who has fired a rifle. But, when we were at war with Indonesia, I and probably half a million other Australians knew my country was at war and that we had to fight. The number of people in here that would have had that before them I think would be minimal if not negligible. And yet you're going to stand in judgement upon those people that volunteered to put their lives at risk to defend this country. What right have you got to judge those people?

I take the interjections from the ALP.
