Comment on Coroners frustrated recommendations on Indigenous suicide ignored by government, report shows
Nath@aussie.zone 1 year agoThis is the beauty of The Voice: at the moment, nobody is bringing up stuff like this in Parliament. Yes, it’s getting ignored, but it’s not being officially ignored on the parliamentary record.
It’s one thing to do nothing with the recommendations of every state coroner. It’s entirely another thing to say live on TV that you will do nothing about it.

There can never be enough ways to force parliament to respond to an issue, but they could of course let it sit in the gazette and never respond to it. It’s my hope though that the high court will weigh on this and say that response is a requirement to fulfill the spirit of the amendment.
