ConNetica Insight No 2 - Federal Coalition Motion on Mental Health
Date: 30-Nov-2010
Attached is a pdf of the ConNetica Insight No 2 by John Mendoza in relation to the Motion on Mental Health.
An Extract:
The Federal Coalition’s Motion on Mental Health
I wish to advise you on developments with a motion on mental health before the Australian Parliament. I believe there are a number of misconceptions on the Motion and I will endeavour to clarify these here.
With Pat McGorry and Jan Kealton (a bereaved parent and carer from the Gold Coast), I attended a series of meetings in Canberra with MPs and Senators on Wednesday 17 November. The meetings provided an opportunity to brief Parliamentarians from across the political spectrum on the Motion developed by The Hon. Peter Dutton MP and Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells.
The Motion
A copy of the Motion is attached for your information. The Motion differs from an early Motion on Mental Health debated in the House of Representatives. The amended Motion was passed by the Senate in late October with the support of Senators Fielding and Xenophon. It does not commit the Government to a specific level of funding nor a specific timeframe; objections made by the Government during the Parliamentary debates.

Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre
Australia’s most comprehensive youth, technology and mental health collaboration, the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre, has today launched an unprecedented online campaign targeting Australian teenagers, drawing attention to the consequences of thoughtless and hurtful use of social media and empowering them to act with respect online. Unique to the campaign is the application of an innovative digital tracking methodology which – in conjunction with a cohort study that will survey and interview young people – will measure its impact on behaviour change over time.
