I just wanted to join, on behalf of the coalition, with the government. Many of us have said on many occasions in this place that the fight against the stigma surrounding mental health is a top priority for this parliament. Lots of work has been done by both sides of parliament over a long period of time to try to provide support to people suffering from mental illness. That work will continue with the support of the coalition. I am very pleased to hear about the work that is being done, particularly in support of our soldiers who are returning from difficult conflicts, and the support ultimately provided otherwise for their families, which is a very important part of the way in which we address what has been a very difficult issue for many families for many decades.
