One Nation acknowledges the Morrison government's creation of a permanent national commissioner to investigate suicides amongst Defence Force personnel and veterans. More than 400 known veteran suicide cases have been recorded since 2001, leaving thousands of family members haunted by the inaction of the Liberal and Labor governments. It's time this government acted with the same courage and rigour as our Defence personnel and establish a royal commission into veteran suicide. One Nation is a co-sponsor of this motion and therefore supports it wholeheartedly.
