“Those who have served on operations overseas know that the bonds forged among soldiers are powerful,” she said. “Sadly, for many, nothing fills the gap in their lives when they come home. More of our service men and women have taken their own lives in Australia than died in Afghanistan-by a factor of 10 to 1. “Yesterday marked the start of veterans’ mental health week. “It is a cause close to my heart. I led Australian soldiers on operations overseas twice and deployed three times.

US Greens presidential candidate speaks with Sky News | Sky News AustraliaGreen Party of the United States’ presidential candidate Howie Hawkins says the reason he is running for president despite having little chance is to put issues on the table which are not being discussed by the major parties.\n\n“Two reasons, one is to put issues on the table that the major parties are not discussing,” Mr Hawkins told Sky News host Brent O’Halloran.\n\n“It’s been the Green Party’s signature issue for the last decade, for a green new deal, and now Biden’s made it clear he’s opposed to it as well as Trump.\n\n“Second thing is an economic bill of rights to end poverty and economic insecurity.\n\n“Those are issues that should be discussed and are not being discussed.\n\n“The other thing is we’re building a Green Party in 40 of the 50 states.”\n HowieHawkins More communism rebranded.

Australia needs initiatives 'specifically targeted to help men's mental health' | Sky News AustraliaPsychologist Tanveer Ahmed says if the Morrison government wants to make progress in their goal of zero suicide, they need to “target their funding to male specific initiatives”.\n\nFigures released earlier this week showed men are killing themselves at higher rates than ever before and were now almost four times more likely to commit suicide than women.\n\n“What we’re not doing is recognising that suicide is mostly a male problem and targeting funding, messaging and policy accordingly,” Mr Ahmed said. \n\n“There’s recognition when we talk about issues like domestic violence that women are predominantly the victims. \n\n“The same doesn't happen with suicide. How much of this is because we just can’t see males as victims?”\n \nMr Ahmed said the feminist answer to the issue of male suicide, parroted by many men, is that “blokes need to be more like women, more vulnerable, seeking help through traditional outlets like counselling”. \n\n“This view also seeps into our institutions,” he said. \n\n“Is this really the answer? Granted, traditional masculinity has taken a great hit with social and economic changes- work with the hands is not as common, men are no longer naturally seen as providers and protectors.\n\n“There should be an onus on organisations to target blokes better, go to where they are and also do a better job at recruiting men into care giving roles. \n\n“Mateship and peer support for example have deep roots into the Australian psyche. Male only spaces are important. We must resist the cultural pressures to feminise.\n\n“There aren’t easy answers or silver bullets, but this week’s suicide figures scream for a greater, more specific focus on men.”\n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support. \n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63 \n\nLifeline 131 114 \n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636\n Maybe get rid of your storm trooper police force as a start ...

Melbourne outbreak casts doubt on anticipated easing of restrictions | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has cast doubt on today's much-anticipated easing of restrictions as health authorities scramble to contain an outbreak in Melbourne's northern suburbs. \n \nThe state has fallen below 100 active cases for the first time in four months, however, struggling businesses could be disappointed if the premier follows through on a warning to postpone a substantial COVID restriction roll back. \n\nSix new infections have been linked to a growing cluster resulting in isolation orders for hundreds of people and an asymptomatic testing blitz. \n\nIt's a potential drawback for struggling business owners who were holding out for the announcement.\n\n DanielAndrewsMP Michael O’Brien says “business as normal” must be the top priority even if it means sone human life has to be sacrificed.

Peta Credlin grills Brett Sutton over key email chains | Sky News AustraliaSky News Host Peta Credlin has cross-examined Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton who spoke at Saturday’s press conference after a week of absence. \n\nProfessor Sutton has been criticised after he failed to table two email chains which showed he was aware private security firms were being used to quarantine COVID-19 cases.\n\nThe Coate Inquiry held an extraordinary session at 2pm on Tuesday in which it discussed the secret emails from Brett Sutton which were omitted from evidence by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).\n\nProfessor Sutton has been asked to submit an affidavit as the hotel quarantine inquiry seeks an explanation as to why the key emails weren't tendered during an extraordinary session on Tuesday.\n\nMs Credlin questioned the Chief Health Officer over the Cedar Meats Cluster, asking him why he didn’t shut the meat works down sooner.\n\nMr Sutton responded, 'my recollection is there were only a few cases when that was raised with me, the shutting down of Cedar Meats, and I gave my advice to shut it down immediately'. \n\nHowever, he dodged further questions after Ms Credlin pointed out his deputy had ordered a number of Cedar Meats workers to quarantine before the decision to close the facility down was made by Mr Sutton. Was she involved in formal legal proceedings? This clown is so far out of his depth is not funny. thechomustgo Peta Credlin’s article in Herald Sun today explains how we are in this position in comparison to other States. Thank you Peta Credlin.
