I will take that as a no, that the government is not committed to reviewing the mental health services. That was the direct question I asked and the minister did not respond. Mr President, I have a supplementary question; perhaps in his answer the minister might like to clarify. Last week Dr Louise Newman, who heads an expert panel advising the government, questioned whether Australia should be accountable for some of the damage that immigration detention causes people. Given that we have seen the number of incidents of self-harm increase on Christmas Island and in mainland detention centres, will the government commit to a review of mental health services?
