This our democratic country.

Statistics on Suicide in Australia Suicide remains the leading cause of death for Australians aged between 15 and 44.Deaths by suicide The overall suicide rate in 2015 was 12.6 per 100,000 in Australia. This is the highest rate in 10-plus years The most recent Australian data (ABS, Causes of Death, 2015) reports deaths due to suicide in 2015 at 3,027 This equates to more than eight deaths by suicide in Australia each day Deaths by suicide in Australia occur among males at a rate three times greater than that for females. However, during the past decade, there has been an increase in suicide deaths by females The suicide rate amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is more than double the national rate. In 2015, suicide accounted for 5.2% of all Indigenous deaths compared to 1.8% for non-Indigenous people

If life is great in a democracy why are so many Australians taking their own life.
These are the facts.

It's the same everywhere in the world. Our society's demands are killing us. Australia is around 41st suicides per capita in the world. Highest is Lithuania , Russia, Guyana, South Korea. Close to the bottom of the list are relatively poor countries like Philippines and Cambodia. What does that tell you? Live for a material result and suffer the consequences.
