I am grateful to the parliamentary secretary for his answer and I am sorry that that was not the last question. I was tempted by his response—not by the inadequacy of it; it begs another question. If the ex-service organisations—the RSL, Legacy, the Vietnam Veterans Federation and other organisations who represent those who have served our nation—express concerns to the government about the practical implementation of schedule 2, will the government agree to some form of formal or semiformal process of convening a meeting of those organisations to thrash out any particular concerns they have in relation to this?
