I'm not going to respond to those opposite, because I'm quite genuine about this. Our staff deal with quite genuine tragedy, and I think they do it really well. So let's just be cognisant of it. These are difficult issues, and we try and deal with them respectfully. Suicide and self-harm are tragic. They occur every day in our communities, and they're something we are all cognisant of and something that my agency is cognisant of. We will continue to do our legislated and mandated task, and we understand the challenges that come with that.
