I just want to apologise to the Korean veterans, whom I count as my friends, for their having been subjected to such a lengthy delay in obtaining a final decision after the conclusion of investigations by the committee. Despite the strength of the veterans’ convictions and as much as I would have liked to have seen a favourable outcome, I believe the integrity of the law and the underlying philosophy of veterans’ entitlements have been upheld. I call again on the Labor Party to explain their policy with regard to this condition that has been imposed on the Korean veterans.
