My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Minister Reynolds. On 5 February 2020 the Prime Minister announced that the Australian government would establish the new National Commissioner for Defence and Veteran Suicide Prevention to inquire into suicides of serving and former ADF members. Part of this announcement was the appointment of an interim commissioner to commence a review of known current and former defence personnel suicides dating back to 2001. My question to the minister is: who is the interim commissioner?
