As a servant to the people of Queensland and Australia, I want to highlight this issue and the injustice of the family law decision that military disability payments are to be divided in Family Law Court decisions. I move:

That the Family Law (Superannuation) (Provision of Information—Military Superannuation and Benefits Scheme) Amendment Determination 2016, made under the Family Law Act 1975, be disallowed.

We would like to put on record our opposition within Pauline Hanson's One Nation party to this splitting of payments in cases of disability, since one recipient is not disabled. We understand that this disallowance motion will not resolve the larger problem. We support it as an expression of our opposition to the orderly disbursement of moneys rightly due to disabled veterans who have not suffered disability as a result of service to our country. We will work with the government to help ensure our disabled veterans are given the financial support and dignity that their sacrifices greatly merit. I urge senators to follow the advice of the RSL and vote for a disallowance of the determination by the Attorney-General.
