00:02A planned cap scrapped.
00:05Have a beer, have too many beers, do whatever.
00:08But the bloody cap has been scrapped.
00:10A veteran herself, Jackie Lambie, has been at the forefront of this fight.
00:15Last month, sharing a deeply personal story about her vaginal prolapse linked to her service in the army.
00:22Her powerful words adding to pressure from across the parliament.
00:26This is personal for me, because it's my family, it's my people.
00:31Fighting to make sure vets get the physio, psychology and dentistry help they need.
00:36The only reason I'm not another statistic, or my name's not etched on the wall at the War Memorial,
00:42is because I had services that I could get.
00:45The plan would have saved the government hundreds of millions of dollars a year,
00:49but it argued veterans would have still been able to get more money on top of the $5,000 yearly
00:54limit
00:55if they demonstrated clinical need.
00:57We would have been looking at 25,000 to 30,000 veterans whose lives would have collapsed there and then.
01:04Last month, veterans came here to Canberra to meet with the minister, Matt Keogh.
01:09He initially declined, a decision he admits he got wrong.
01:13The Prime Minister shouldn't have just scrapped the cap, he should have scrapped the minister.
01:19In the time I've been up here, Matt is the best thing that we have bloody had.
01:24Jackie Lambie's mission now is to make sure there's never a cap again.
01:28I'm going to go ahead and take a minute,
01:28And I have to look up in the next season.
01:28I'm gonna take a minute.
01:28.
01:28All right.
01:28I'm going to get back again.
01:32I'm going to play a bit.
01:33I'm going to do the right thing.
01:34Now you're ready for that, I'm going to listen.
01:35I'm going to try again.
01:35I'm going to leave the memory.
