Discrimination is the cause for many people of their stress, anxiety and depression.
Tragically, it is too often fatal when people self-harm and die by suicide.
We, the board members of beyondblue, who are professional and lay people and who are bi-partisan in serving beyondblue, are working to reduce discrimination.
Beyondblue requests all our politicians, regardless of their politics or feelings, to understand the ramifications of a law that through positive discrimination causes so much unnecessary hurt, pain, mental illness and worse to some.
A law that is in direct conflict with other existing laws.
A law we consider to be outdated, inequitable and unfair.
The Hon. Jeff Kennett AC
Chairman, beyondblue
