Senator VANSTONE (Minister for Family and Community Services and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Status of Women) (12:07 PM) —Senator, did you indicate to me that you were once the minister for veterans' affairs?


Senator Schacht —No.


Senator VANSTONE —That is perhaps why you do not understand, and why you are repeating it to me. Just to make sure, let us run it past you again.



Senator VANSTONE —I do not like to yell. You are getting a bit tense and I like to keep you calm and sweet. There is a standing appropriation under the veterans' act. That means that, when veterans need to be paid, they can be paid. We need a separate appropriation for the others, and that is what we are trying to do today.
