Veteran Health Roadblocks

********************
G’day John,
********************
In the days after the Bondi Massacre my phone started ringing. It
was veterans from all over the country.
For our Aussie veterans, some who spent years fighting in the
middle east, this attack on home soil felt personal.
I gave a speech in the Senate last week, about the pain that the
Bondi attack caused veterans.
It got intense over Christmas. I was getting calls from veterans
who desperately needed urgent mental health support, and not just
a visit, they needed a bed!
In late January, I went to Townsville and Brisbane to catch up
with Veterans and advocates. It’s been more than a year since the
Government said it would fix the problems in the veteran health
system But this trip confirmed my worst fears. There are
still too many problems with Veterans getting timely access to
health services, particularly mental health support.
Last Tuesday, I asked the government what the hell are they were
doing to address these issues. You can see those questions here
That afternoon, I gave a 5-minute speech telling the Senate about
the road blocks and the hoops, that veterans, advocates and their
doctors are still having jump through. You can see this speech on
here
I gave the government and the Minister some breathing space, but
that’s
over now!
Love Jac
