Pressure from the coalition has forced Labor to scrap its arbitrary cap on health services for our veterans, and I commend the members for Herbert and Riverina for their spirited fight against this arbitrary cap. I applaud our veterans, whose defiant roar ultimately won the day. It's unleashed unnecessary anguish in our veteran community, and there's no confidence in this minister. I say to the Prime Minister: now the cap has been scrapped, scrap the minister. But you won't, Prime Minister. You'll paint this as just another change of position, always in denial about the damage being caused to this country. Dodge, duck, dip and dive—that's this prime minister to a tee. Insults to the Japanese Prime Minister—dodge. Dubious grants to your golf club—duck. Grubby best mate and disgraced adviser—dip. Refusing to acknowledge Islamist extremism—dive.

I'll tell you what's revealing about this prime minister. He cuts health services to our veterans, but he keeps funding welfare and housing deposits for non-Australians. Those opposite will always put Australians second. We'll always put Australians first.
