Ms CLANCY (Elder) (12:58): I want to thank my wonderful adviser for helping to prepare a fantastic speech that, unfortunately, none of you will get to hear. The reason why none of you will get to hear it is that so many people in this chamber are passionate about mental health, so that is a really good thing. I really appreciate everyone's contributions, and I am also very grateful that you all have such great connections with your local suicide prevention network and with the work that is happening on the ground.

On Sunday and Monday this week, I was in the Riverland for my second visit as the Premier's Advocate for Suicide Prevention. I was there on our inaugural Suicide Prevention Council regional trip. All our other meetings have been held in the city and we thought it was really important for us to go out and have a chat with people in our regions, who we know are often more greatly affected by mental challenges and suicide.

I was really pleased to bring the council there and for them to be able to hear from all these incredible people doing such great work. There is this guy called John Gladigau—and I know the member for Chaffey is well aware of him—who is a grain producer, a grain farmer. He wrote and starred in a play, a musical, that is all about country people and mental health and puts it into language that people in regional communities can really relate to. It was really great for everyone else on the Suicide Prevention Council to hear from him as well. I feel like the Acting Speaker is about to tell me to stop.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr Brown): You may seek leave if you wish.

Ms CLANCY: That's okay. I just want to thank everyone very much for their contributions, and thank you to all the people doing great work in this space, especially our Suicide Prevention Networks.
