As I said, we need to keep working with the collaboration also to find better ways to prevent people from developing eating disorders in the first place. As the member knows, these drivers are complex and they have deep roots in our culture. They are issues of body image, advertising norms, the role of social media and much more.

I thank the member for her advocacy. We need to engage more between the Commonwealth and the states. I think I've outlined the way in which, to their credit, the former government did that. We've got much, much more to do, and I look forward to working with the member over coming months.
