Minister, I might try to summarise what you just said to ensure that I understand it properly. It is that an unintended consequence of inserting this provision could be to force somebody into rehabilitation for the purposes of returning them to work, when in fact returning them to work may not be in the best interest of the veteran or the member of the Defence Force, and they need a more holistic approach to their rehabilitation?
