As I said before, if we are going to talk about support to veterans and removing support to veterans, I ask the Australian Labor Party—and the senator asked this question—how you could possibly justify removing $1 million without any notice from the advocacy and welfare services provided to Australia's veterans, which actually stops them getting to the stage where they might need to access legal aid. So, this is pure hypocrisy, and you should apologise to the veterans. (Time expired)
