@BreakfastNews @LisaMillar I am 29, an essential worker and had booked in for a vaccine next Wednesday but I am going to cancel now and wait it out.

@chrismaylea 3/ I think of policy like a football game. Maybe consumers didn’t totally win this round, but we’ve done better than we have before. And after we go through this report & process it, then we start training for the next game. It is not a final product, it is a continuing process.

I am so hopeful that if Victoria can achieve its goal of a "new mental health system from the ground up" that this will spread to other states in Aus, incl WA where I have first hand experience of neglect by the system. #rcvmhs @WAGovernment @MarkMcGowanMP

Key recommendations from the Royal Commission include all '000' calls for mental health crisis to be diverted to Ambulance Victoria rather than Victoria Police -- and responses to be led by paramedics.
The Mental Health Act will also be repealed and replaced #springst

[bec egan @rebeccaegan___]

People with mental health concerns also recommended as priority for housing - including a specific focus on youth houselessness. 7/ #RCmentalhealth

[bec egan @rebeccaegan___]

Recommendation: For those in crisis police and ambulance services will no longer be the only options, and peer run responses to crisis will become available. 6/ #RCmentalhealth
