Veterans Minister Matt Keogh is under fire for proposing a $5,000 annual cap on allied health services — a move slammed by advocates as “cruel” and not backed by the Royal Commission. The backlash intensified after his office initially brushed off a veterans group’s meeting request, only for Keogh to later admit he “got it wrong” for not agreeing sooner, acknowledging their sense of betrayal. Critics, including veteran spokespeople, accuse him of lacking courage, honor, and loyalty, while Keogh insists he respects veterans’ perspectives. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has now stepped in to defend Keogh, saying he has “every confidence” in him and that engaging with service members is a privilege deserving total respect — underscoring the deepening tension between government policy and veterans’ needs.
