Australia’s suicide crises and my meeting with Federal Minister Nigel Scullion

by Gerry Georgatos

There is no greater legacy any Government can achieve than to save lives, to restore hope in people, to give youth every chance at life. If this Government reduces the suicide crises than whatever all its failures elsewhere it will nevertheless have a legacy to be proud of. The suicide crises must be front and centre of the national agenda – get these crises addressed and the Government will find it will have addressed many other issues too that at this time it may not recognise are intertwined.
