With more than 70 Indigenous Australians estimated to have taken their lives this year already, experts are worried that 2019 could be one of the worst years on record for suicide in Australia. New data from Beyond Blue is suggesting that suicidal behaviour among Australian men could be up to three times higher than previous estimates. It’s a disturbing trend that has led to calls for Scott Morrison to appoint a Minister for Suicide Prevention in the new government. (AUDIO IN TURKISH)
