Health services are also struggling to fill rosters for 24-hour specialist teams, which are the crucial front line for the most severely mentally unwell people in the state. | @Meljcunningham #COVID19 https://t.co/SjAGimyblQ

I first raised concerns about Jehovah's Witnesses in Vic Parliament in 2016 and again in 2020, when I called on the government to remove its tax concessions. Will revelations in tonight's @4corners story prompt further sanctions from government? I hope so. #springst #auspol

Bernie Finn’s presence in public life is literally taxpayer funded so…… #springst

Commo! Hey - that’s me!! 😂 @abcmelbourne

A recent survey of HACSU members working in youth mental health showed that 100% had seen an increased demand for services since the beginning of the pandemic.

On RUOK Day, it's worth asking whether our mental health services are OK.

And Headspace, the thing the federal government points to *without fail* when it comes to mental health for young people, arguably isn't going "OK".

#LNPfail comedy

Whilst using the dictator hashtag shows the type of person the Liberals put up as opposition, sometimes you need to see/hear a person in action to really appreciate how useless they are.

54% of people in Wilcannia live in housing that is 'often or always overcrowded'

There is a reason why these communities are so vulnerable to COVID - unsafe housing is making people sick.

Australia's 1st legal collection of native "magic" mushrooms could provide medical options to treat severe depression, alcohol and drug addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the fear expereienced at the end of terminally ill people's lives: https://t.co/l43ogHqURc

I spend a lot of time sitting in courtrooms and I think: wow there’s a lot of folks who need less getting arrested and more state-sponsored mental health care! Just! All the time!

[Labor for Drug Law Reform AU @LFDLRVic]

This is not ok. @JamesMerlinoMP please work with @hacsu to get this done! 🙏🏽💙 There’s no #mentalhealth sector without a well-supported and valued workforce✊🏾 #COVID19Vic #ShadowPandemicVic

MEDIA RELEASE: Youth mental health workers suffering dangerous new rate of burnout and fatigue, while young Victorians are left waiting.

[Penington Institute @PeningtonNews]

Australia’s Annual Overdose Report 2021, released on @OverdoseDay, shows that more than 2,000 Australians have died of overdose for six straight years.

This is our silent health crisis.

That’s why we’ve enlisted comedy icon @Jimeoin to give Australia a dose of reality.

Surviving deadly virus is hard enough. Why not alleviate ppl's #1 concern? Resurrect JobKeeper & stop job destruction, minimise biz, skills, career loss. Stronger revenue tests to stop rorting, extended all casuals & migrants. Paid directly to wrkr at $750 rate. @unionsaustralia

[Zoë Victoria 💉💉💉💉 @Zoe__V]

I really cannot believe that Brad Hazzard just criticised the NSW nurses and midwives union at this press conference for “being negative”.
