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?
