My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Senator Evans. Is the government of a report in the Herald Sun on 9 February 2011 regarding the decision by the Australian War Memorial to deny an application to list Lance Corporal Mason Edwards on the honour roll after he died during an exercise in training at Port Augusta for his third deployment to Afghanistan? Given the family’s dismay at his exclusion from the roll, has the government been in contact with the family to discuss the matter and, if so, what was the outcome?
