I wish to inform the chamber that Senator Hanson, Senator Siewert, Senator Steele-John, Senator Patrick and Senator Marielle Smith will also sponsor this motion. I move:

That the Senate—

(a) is not of the view that the Morrison Government's announcement of the National Commissioner for Defence and Veterans Suicide Prevention is "better than a Royal Commission";

(b) calls on the Morrison Government to establish a Royal Commission into Veterans Suicide, with a clear start and end date; and

(c) invites the Royal Commissioner to recommend that a standing, permanent capability be established to oversee reform, should the Commissioner see fit to do so.
