I will enable others to speak, but given that previous statement I just want to place a few facts on the record. The member for Herbert was up there when we launched the trial site and she was included in it. Rather than trying to play politics on this issue, could the member work with the government on an initiative which was this government's then we will work cooperatively with her and do so. The PHN has been involved in this process from the word go. So the fact that the PHN has been involved in your process shows that your process is part of what we are trying to achieve. The health department have made it very clear to the PHN, and it has been publicly stated, that they have the funds available for the suicide prevention trial site. I will leave it there so others can have their questions. I will sum up at the end, but I just wanted to get that clearly on the record, so we can end the politics around what is very, very important to the veterans community.
