Consider the motion
That the debate be adjourned.
Earlier motion under debate
Mr McCormack moved—That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Riverina from moving the following motion immediately—That this House:
(1) requires the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel to immediately attend the Chamber and be permitted to speak for no more than 15 minutes to explain:
(a) why the Government is proceeding with the proposed veterans’ allied healthcare cap despite widespread concern from veterans, ex-service organisations and allied health providers;
(b) what consultation was undertaken with veterans and stakeholder organisations before the announcement of the proposed cap;
(c) what modelling, advice and impact assessments informed the Government’s decision; and
(d) how the Government can guarantee that veterans with complex and ongoing health conditions will not be worse off under the proposed changes; and
(2) permits the Shadow Minister for Veterans’ Affairs to attend the Chamber and speak for no more than 15 minutes in response to the Minister’s statement.
About this vote
Michael McCormack moved to suspend standing and sessional orders so he could immediately move the motion quoted above. That motion would require the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel to attend the House and explain the proposed veterans’ allied healthcare cap, and would permit the shadow minister to respond. Andrew Charlton then moved that the debate be adjourned. Yes supports adjourning the debate at that point; no opposes adjourning it. This division does not itself approve or reject the proposed healthcare cap.
