Honourable Speaker, I rise tonight to talk about men's mental health and the importance of blokes talking to each other to share stories, vulnerabilities, fears, and aspirations.
The trauma, stresses and injury experienced by police, put forward in this motion by Mr Jenner, is shared across all of those departments and services.
Before I start, I just want to provide a warning to people watching or reading that I have a series of questions about a coronial investigation into a suicide in custody.
Last week, Tasmanians were shocked to learn about a leaked memo that revealed you are already making cuts in community mental health and wellbeing.
The Liberals’ move to cut staffing and services in mental health is outrageous and dangerous. This decision must be immediately reversed.
Children and young people in detention should have daily access to an onsite child and adolescent psychologist and fortnightly access to an onsite psychiatrist.
Everyone in this place agrees Tasmania's paramedics do an incredible job, often under unthinkable circumstances.
The Coroner has effectively put the Rockliff Government on notice over the mental health of paramedics.
The critically important St Helen’s mental health facility will close its doors tomorrow, but Jeremy Rockliff hasn’t lifted a finger to keep it open
The Premier has lifted not one finger to sincerely make a strong effort to restore and maintain the services at St Helens.
