The Australian Greens proudly co-sponsor this motion today. I do so along with my colleague Senator Siewert. Anybody who has spoken with a family that has been touched by veteran suicide will know the pain that they feel and the urgency that is demanded by so many for an independent and rigorous investigation that is able to look under every rock and stone and get an answer to the question why so many veterans are being driven to take these actions. I met a few days ago with Julie-Anne Finney, who came into this building to bring the voices of over 300,000 Australians who have so far signed a petition calling for the government to take this action. We proudly support this motion in solidarity with Julie-Anne and all veterans' families who have experienced this disgraceful outcome.

Question agreed to.
