Spoke with Kieran Gilbert on @News24Aust about Mr & Mrs McCarthy, parents of fallen Australian soldier Sean McCarthy, being left off the invitation list for Sunday’s Operation Slipper commemoration. Minister Keogh needs to answer questions & provide the McCarthys with answers.

You are a disgrace. A clear administrative error, that CDF apologised for. An address was incorrect after 12 years. Politicising this is yet another demonstration about your lack of priorities. The electorate. Shame.

How thick are you @M_McCormackMP ?? Did you not hear the Ministers reply in QT? It was an administration clitch due to not having current details for the McCarthys.

You're not fit to talk about Veterans Issues if you're posting misinformation.

He did , in QT. The war memorial tried to contact the family but they had changed address. He has spoken to them and apologised. What else do you want him to do. It's all about the politics to you. The way your party treated veterans was despicable and had to be cleaned up.

Stop trying to get mileage out of the Mc Carthty's. The Minister explained the War Memorial issued the invitations, not the Department. It is just grubby politics,very One Nation like.

Using a fallen soldier to score political points is so normal for McCormick.

Imagine politicizing an event like this…you’d have to be a weak pathetic individual to do so …or a member of a party facing extinction

The War Memorial’s contact details were out of date. If they were notified of any changes how would they know.

How dare we ignore the celebrities and deny them a first class ticket to attend a ceremony. I mean getting celebrity appearances are more imp than the actual essence of the ceremony. Reasons why these ceremonies are just a gathering of bunch of celebrities with huge egos

Weren't you part of that corrupt and incompetent Morrison government that left us with high inflation, rates and a near Trillion dollar debt. I think your time is past and you need to sit down and shut up. Even better, retire.
