links.streem.com.au/the-canberra-t… Go AMA! Past time this rubbish stopped, now for signed up blueprint for MH in this country, a Fed State funding agr’ment that meets real need, rather than current patchy crap. Sector is over it. Investment needed now! Mark Butler MP Anthony Albanese Chris Minns

Anthony Albanese Dear Prime Minister While you’re in the process of banning social media for teens, would you mind banning gambling ads for adults at the same time? Thank you

smh.com.au/national/nsw/h…. So pleased to see this finally opening, many worked so hard to ensure it did. Good policy backed by hard work and funding matters- it changes lives. You need to do the work to make things happen. Well done to those that did.

The latest disputes between Healthscope, Bupa Australia and the Australian Health Service Alliance reveal why we need a Private Health System Authority. Patients are the ones who suffer the most from disputes like these. #auspol

We would like to acknowledge the United Nations's #16DaysofActivism against gender-based violence. Despite the Labor Govt's efforts to combat the ongoing violence across the country, rates of gender-based violence continues to permeate through Australian society.

150 NSW public sector psychiatrists have tendered their resignations to take effect on Jan 21. With one third of public sector jobs already vacant, this going to be an absolute decimation of an already desperate sector. Angelo Virgona #psychiatry #mentalhealth #psychtwitter

Actually those outcomes have surged in Australia in recent years due to failure to replace mental hospitals with a strong community care system at scale and quality. Broken. Current focus is NSW but it is similar in all States and territories. “Well being” programs no substitute

Political gaslighting by NSW Labor to avoid addressing what this is really about. Dr Pramudie Gunaratne paints a harrowing yet all too familiar picture of a mental health system on its knees. #psychtwitter #nswpsychiatrists #mentalhealthworkforce smh.com.au/national/nsw/p…

Fears 'apocalyptic' outcomes will follow NSW psychiatrist exodus - ABC News. This looks like a pay dispute but it’s better understood as a potentially terminal symptom of the gross policy failure that followed deinstitutionalisation/mainstreaming apple.news/AfidvUnYkRau-a…

Half of the psychiatrists in NSW’s public service are preparing to resign. Here’s why - Guardian Australia Just to restate: this is best understood as a symptom of a system in late/terminal stage of failure.We saw this in Vic & it led to a Royal Commission apple.news/AVd9Vk5eJSueVQ…

Legacy of failed deinstitutionalisation with gross funding neglect given scale of need for care. States have failed to build strong evidence based community MH care and put acute hospitals in charge of latter. What could possibly go wrong? Vic did try to address but struggling.

Stephen Duckett⁩ is correct - pay issue is the surface manifestation of a deeper system failure. Psychiatrists roles are barely tenable & moral injury for all public MH professionals is extreme. Patients suffer. Govts across Australia have failed. abc.net.au/news/2025-01-1…

Passionate plea for the severely mentally ill by Jeffrey Looi. Contrast the response from govt and community to Cancer NDIS and even MND. Yet serious mental illness is an equally serious public health issue. Gross neglect of hundreds of thousands of Australians RANZCP

Kudos and respect to Paul Keating , the only living PM who refused to accept an AC because he believed that honours should be reserved for those whose work in the community went unrecognised and that being PM was significant public recognition. Definitely not a cosplay PM.
