I thank everyone for coming here today. The work Senator Daly is doing in pushing forward this legislation is fantastic. Ms Murray mentioned various issues. I cannot even imagine what it must be like to feel the isolation one might feel at times when trying to communicate in general with society. It must be very difficult. She mentioned mental health issues which can often arise. Is there a huge incidence of depression and anxiety because of that lack of communication, particularly with the younger generation in the deaf community? What services are available for young people or anyone else with mental health issues?
