If Senator Allison knows of any particular aspect of someone being refused a white or gold card, and which she has a problem with, she should refer them to the minister or me, and I will pass it on. The medical requirements for that are laid out in the Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1996 and we apply those criteria to anyone who applies for a white or gold card. As to the United Kingdom experience, we will have a look at that and see if we can learn from it but, as I said earlier, I have not had a briefing on the report that Senator Allison mentioned. I will get back to the Senate with further details on that.
