Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I again note the tragic toll of suicide, including in remote and rural Australia where the suicide rate is 66 per cent higher than in the cities. Will the Turnbull government reconsider its rejection of the Mental Health Commission's recommendation and join Labor in a bipartisan commitment to a 50 per cent suicide reduction target over the next 10 years?
