Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Health and Ageing) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to comments by Professor John Mendoza last Friday when announcing his resignation as Chair of the National Advisory Council on Mental Health:

… it is now abundantly clear that there is no vision or commitment from the Rudd Government to mental health … The Rudd Government is publicly claiming credit for the increased investment in mental health when almost all of this is a consequence of the work of the Howard Government.

If the Prime Minister cannot be trusted not to take credit for other people’s work in mental health, how can he be trusted to be straightforward with the Australian people in any other area?
