This is also not fishing related and probably gonna cause some controversy but ill throw this out there anyway cuz awareness is a good thing.
The number of Australians who complete suicide each year is significantly higher than the number of people who die on our roads each year. Yet for every dollar spend on reducing the road toll less that 9 cents is spent on suicide precention....
That said, yes a great add.
wow fishwrecked has become incredibly political today, whats goin on, no fish around lol?
its cos of this shitty weather cuthbad :P no one wants to go out. hhahah. makes you think dosnt it. knowing people who have been suicidal and suffer from depression really affects your viewpoints on this. personally id like to see more prevention of suicide and depression, just my opinion though, feel free to criticize it.
yea mate, I work (and still study, 5 years and counting) in this field
and the lack of funding is incredibly frustrating. Unfortunately
promoting mental health just doesnt win votes the way funding road
safety does....Im not against road safety, want to make that clear, but i think it becomes an issue that wins votes rather than an issue that needs further funding and imo opinion there are PLENTY of areas that need the funding more.
apparently only 33% of the money raised through multa nova cameras and redlight cameras goes back into road safety....in saying that unfortunately mental health does not have a mechanism in place like road safety to raise funding and relies on government handouts?
tony, i havnt been in any accidents myself, but a few close calls and i also feel naked in a car without one on. i take public transport almost every day f the week, 52 weeks a year and i almost feel naked without one on a bus.

Having twice been in bad accidents, including one roll-over, I can tell you I ALWAYS wear my seat belt. I feel almost naked in a car without it.
Dam good add!
