Senator NASH (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of The Nationals in the Senate and Minister for Rural Health) (14:18): I am pleased to see that over recent years we have been making some inroads into reducing that stigma. We are taking this issue out from under the carpet. I think it is very important to look at those who are supporting what the government has done today. Mental Health Australia today has welcomed the Australian government's response, saying: Reform starts today … We are particularly heartened to see the Government adopting a ‘stepped-care’ approach to mental health … The Australian Health Care and Hospitals Association has been supportive, saying: This signals a positive move … We support the important role assigned to Primary Health Networks … Today we have seen beyondblue saying that today's announcement by the Turnbull government was a defining moment for mental health care in Australia and that it commended the health minister, Sussan Ley, for having the courage— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Rice, on a point of order? Senator Rice: Mr President, I raise a point of order. My question was specifically about what the minister would say to Australians living with the stigma of mental illness. It was specifically about stigma. The PRESIDENT: Senator Rice, the minister did address stigma first up in her answer. I have been listening to her answer and I think she has been directly relevant. Senator NASH: With the support of these types of organisations we will be doing exactly what the senator asked and addressing that stigma through better delivery of these programs of mental health care.
