Kids Helpline has revealed that attempted suicide rates among Victorian teenagers skyrocketed by 184% between the months of December 2020 and May 2021, with teens aged 13-18 accounting for 75% of the total crisis interventions.
44% of Victorian emergency interventions were responding to a young person’s immediate intent to suicide, whilst another 31% of interventions were the result of child abuse.
During the second lockdown in Victoria, from July to September 2020, referrals to police, ambulance and Child Safety for children at imminent risk of serious harm rose by 46% compared to the previous three months. In March 2021, a child was calling for help every minute, with calls from children aged 5-9 rising by 80%.
Much of the country is currently suffering through further draconian lockdowns, with the evidence overwhelmingly showing that lockdowns do more harm than good.
What are you doing as a member of parliament to prevent lockdowns from occurring, and to protect our children from further harm and distress?
Why is the government continually locking down states and territories when the evidence shows that lockdowns cause financial and economic carnage, disrupt schooling, ruin small businesses, and create an unimaginable toll on mental health, with suicide rates sky rocketing?
Lockdowns were never part of Australia’s pandemic plan. Will you support the cessation of all future lockdowns in Australia? If not, why not?
- Use your own words as much as possible.
- You do NOT need to use a greeting or sign off - this is all done for you
- Review your letter. The last box will show you exactly how your email will look. Edit this section to make sure you are happy with how it reads before you press submit.
- Check your email for the confirmation email for your letter to be sent. Check your junk folder.
