Shadow Defence Industry Minister Phil Thompson accuses Veterans' Affairs Minister Matt Keogh of incompetence, warning the government's reforms could leave veterans worse off and deepen the mental health crisis. “This is the problem, Matt Keogh is out of his depth, he can’t explain it and hearing that he’s lying,” Mr Thompson told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “If you hit your $5000 per year cap when you’re in a bad way, how do you then progress past it. “This terrified me that we have an incompetent minister who can’t talk about the details and all he wants to do is say, ' Oh well, you’re fear-mongering, well that’s BS. “Veterans will be worse off, and I’m terrified that we will see more suicides because of this incompetent minister.”
