Minister, in your policy for veterans’ affairs, you stated in relation to the Korean vets that you would take all the recommendations unconditionally from the Korean review inquiry, which were: that the post-armistice service example of July 1953 to April 1956 be viewed as warlike for the purpose of the Veterans’ Entitlement Act; that the names of those that died in the period be engraved on the Wall of Honour of the Australian War Memorial; and that those that served in the post-armistice period be issued the return from active service badges to denote war service and that they also be issued with the Australian Active Service Medal. Minister, when will you honour those promises that you made in your policy?
