1 in 3 men admit partner abuse + Inside our ‘broken’ mental health system

Tuesday Headlines: Greens senator Dorinda Cox joins Labor, one in three Australian men have used intimate partner violence, one of Europe’s largest volcanos erupts, Queensland’s looking to become the events capital of Australia, and the Tillies send off interim coach Tom Sermanni with a 4-1 win.

Deep Dive: Whistleblowers are warning that Australia’s mental health system is overwhelmed, underfunded, and unable to meet growing demand, and it’s putting lives at risk.

While demand for support grows, some patients with severe mental health needs have been left waiting days for care, while others are being turned away entirely due to a lack of resources and staff.

While mental health accounts for 15 per cent of the country’s disease burden, second only to cancer, it receives just five per cent of the country’s health budget annually.

In today’s episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy speaks with the NSW Chair of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, Pramudie Gunaratne, who’s calling for that to change, and for urgent systematic reform.
