Stephen Conroy (Victoria, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I again refer the minister to his answer yesterday, when he claimed that the head of the Returned and Services League gave the opposition notes to ask questions at Senate estimates about ADF pay. I can inform the Senate that the shadow minister for veterans' affairs has been in contact with the head of the RSL this morning, and he has confirmed that this claim is simply not true. Will the minister now, again, correct the record and acknowledge that his claims and remarks yesterday about the RSL in the Senate were wrong?
