Who cares about youth suicide NOT the government

Actions speak louder than words (nee political lies).

Youth suicide is a concern amongst society, where for whatever reasons, being it peer group pressure, family issues, socio-economic woes or any other factors, children see their lives not worth living, take drastic action.

There is one important factor to consider there, that being that this is occurring to the children of the masses and NOT the ruling elite.

Politician’s, law makers, judges, doctors, high profile business people amongst others, do not consider themselves part of society, but rather above everyone else, and most importantly, untouchable by law, when it comes to fraud, crime and corruption. They have considerable wealth gained from ‘Money for mates’ deals, frowning upon the less fortunate.

The corporate media announce approximately one month ago that the government will be committing support to those in need, for the prevention of youth suicide as detailed in the Herald Sun’s article from 25^th of October 2012:

Mental health experts on standby for schools hit by suicide as part of Federal Government campaign

with the following text:

TEAMS of mental health experts will be on standby for schools hit by student suicide, in a $20 million campaign to be announced by the Federal Government today. 

Youth mental health service headspace has trained multiple suicide support teams, who will work in pairs and be on call for devastated schools across the country.




Barely a month later the government has done a 180 degree turn around and axed the project, as reported by The Age in the article from 21^st of November 2012

Youth suicide help gets axe

Ref: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/youth-suicide-help-gets-axe-20121120-29o64.html

with the following text:

THE Baillieu government will axe an early intervention support program that helps thousands of vulnerable students at risk of suicide, self-harm, drug abuse and offending.

What is important is that politicians save their money for wage raises from $15,000 to $50,000 per annum, with very little care or due diligence to society as a whole, the very society that supports them through the highest taxes in the world.

Another shameful government action showing the general populous that their offspring are truly cannon fodder, and will be treated as such.
