Minister, again, you're not listening to the veterans. This is now a pattern of disrespect by the minister who was meant to be their champion—the medicals debacle, the treatment of the Baird family, the $5,000 allied health threshold and refusing to initially meet with the veterans who came to parliament to plead with your government. Now those veterans say they have lost confidence in their minister. If they've lost confidence in the minister, why hasn't the Prime Minister lost confidence in him?
