Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. The government's budget press release on mental health refers to alleged reforms and init­iatives. How much of the mental health spend is new money and not simply recycled money and/or rebadged programs? In relation to the $47.3 million in new funding, doesn't that also come with a $62 million cut from existing programs? Isn't this another broken promise from Ms Gillard?
