It's no wonder Australia's suicide prevention policies are such a dismal failure. Over the last two decades (2000-2021) suicides worldwide dropped by 6% but in this country they went up by 39%. Analysis by the Australian Men's Health Forum in 2020 showed that 4 of 5 beneficiaries of suicide prevention policies were female, and little has changed since then.
And now we have Coroner's report data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showing that among men 25-44, the biggest cause of suicide is now "problems in spousal relationships circumstances". It is appalling that our suicide prevention programs are ignoring this key trigger for male suicide and refusing to provide services to support men going through this process.
It's no coincidence that these suicide prevention bodies are staffed almost entirely by female health bureaucrats, women who have no interest in saving the lives of ordinary men, and no intention of opening the can of worms that is our biased family law system. This system is a key part of the reason why these family men are killing themselves in such numbers – a system designed to chew men up and spit them out. Any decent suicide prevention program would ask what can be done to protect men from this fate.

None of that is going to happen whilst biased female hands are steering the ship of state. Dismantling DEI in our bureaucracies would be a small, but critical step towards a policy framework that cared about women AND men. But given the grip of feminism on all Australian institutions, we're a very long way from that right now.
Yes, ideologically driven diversity programs are killing people. We must promote this fact to ensure the demise of DEI in Australia.
