The weaponisation of mental suffering

‘Again, you have not answered me. You have not taken my request seriously. If my kids and myself get worse, you will be responsible.’

Fazileh, Fariborz Karami’s Mother

 

‘The fact remains that Australian politics now treats suicide as a de facto limitless resource. Since 2013, the conditions at our detention centres have led six men to kill themselves.’

Chris Woods, ‘Australia has  weaponised suicide’
