On the question of mental health, we believe that this is a huge priority for the future of the country. We welcome debate on the subject. We welcome debate from those who agree with the government’s reforms and those who disagree with the government’s reforms. We do that more broadly in the health and hospitals debate of the nation. On the health and hospitals debate of the nation, it is passing strange that the gentleman asking the question—the Leader of the Opposition, who engages in this debate—was the person who gouged a billion dollars out of the public hospital system of Australia when he was the health minister.
