Brisbane Tradies Tackle Men’s Mental Health

Demi Lynch

 

1 in 2 Australian men have had a mental health problem at some point in their lives. And 80% of Australia’s suicides are men. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Yet sadly the men of Australia aren’t talking about it. 

 

Which is why tradies Ed Ross and Dan Allen decided to create Trademutt - bright and colourful workwear to start a conversation about mens’ mental health. Demi Lynch reports. 

 

 

Moving History Around

Members of the European Parliament forced a display about the Srebrenica Genocide to be moved from Brussels, back to Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina for displaying “too many skulls and bones”.

The exhibit had been a year in planning, with members of the European Parliament, who had agreed to host the exhibit in parliament on July 11, commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide.
