Deputy Farrell raised the matter with me yesterday. I told him that I would meet a delegation from the school through his office. I understand that he will arrange the meeting. I have no problem with meeting the school on this issue.

A number of issues were raised, although I know I am running out of time. Senator Nash referred to the Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel, ONE, campaign. I increased ONE's funding by 108% in the recent budget. It does fantastic work. My Department, the Defence Forces and I work closely with ONE, which provides a fabulous service to former members of the Defence Forces. I meet the veterans associations once per year.
