We know from past experience that publicity about suicide leads to an increase in those events. So attempts to reduce the rate have to be subtle. We had R U OK day a couple of weeks ago, that was quite heavily promoted in the construction industry again this year. There has been significant increase in expenditure on mental health like making a number of free visits to a psychologist available on Medicare.
So the focus is there if you look for it.
