Disabled War Veterans Pensions

My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree with his Minister for Veterans’ Affairs in his constant opposition to Labor’s policy to provide fairer indexation to the pensions of our most severely disabled war veterans?
John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
I agree very much with the initiative of the minister that was expressed in the budget, which significantly increased the support to those veterans.
