Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Yesterday the Labor-Green alliance failed to support the coalition’s motion to give effect to a policy which has been applauded by mental health experts. Indeed, Professor Mendoza was absolutely scathing of the government’s $277 million, which was referred to as ‘mere tokenism’. When will the government deliver the services that are so desperately needed by mental health consumers and their carers?
