The motion is seconded. My word, the motion is seconded. Standing and sessional orders have to be suspended. Every day, our men and women in the Australian Defence Force go to work. They are tested. Whether that is in battlefield combat, whether that is in peacekeeping deployment or whether that is in the canteen at Puckapunyal, they are tested. Today, there's one particular person in this place, and there's a test upon that person. It's the Prime Minister of this country. The test is: will he maintain the faith in his hapless minister? Will the Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Minister for Defence Personnel still have his job by the end of today?

I have right here what should be the last media release from Minister Matt Keogh. It is a statement on veteran allied health changes dated 17 September 2026. When you read this, you start to realise how crook this government is when it comes to veterans' care. It says:

The Albanese Government has a deep respect for our veterans who have, and who continue to serve our country. Anyone who pulls on our nation's uniform to serve in our name deserves nothing less.

Tell that to the more than half a million veterans who for weeks, for months, have wondered why there needed to be an arbitrary dollar figure placed on their courage, on their duty, on their noble service, on their allied health—a $5,000 cap on their physical health and on their psychological care. It's not good enough, Prime Minister. It's not good enough, Minister.

The media release continues:

We have been consulting on this measure, and we have heard from veterans there are concerns about this approach.

They have not been consulting. They did not consult prior to the May budget. They had not consulted until about 31 August, in the second week of the nationwide listening tour that I went on, and I went to every state and every territory. I went to the capital cities, I went to the regional centres, and I listened. That's what consulting is all about. It's listening to veterans. And there were hundreds upon hundreds of them. This is why standing and sessional orders need to be suspended. This is why this parliament needs to pause. And this is why this prime minister needs to act.

The media release continues:

We have been listening carefully and today, the Government is taking the proposed $5,000 threshold off the table.
