Thank heaven that Jackie Lambie and Labor and the Greens and even former govt MP Craig Kelly were able to pressure the Morrison govt into declaring a Royal Commission into defense force suicides. Were it not for these groups it may not have happened. Our defense personnel deserve this Royal Commission as do the families of those impacted by suicide.

‘Show some courage’: Kelly, Lambie want PM to call veterans’ royal commission

"Former government MP Craig Kelly wants the Coalition to “immediately” call a royal commission into veteran suicides, pledging to vote against his old party this week and potentially consign Prime Minister Scott Morrison to an embarrassing defeat.

It comes as Senator Jacqui Lambie challenges the PM to “get on the front foot” and announce a royal commission off his own bat.

Calling for the inquiry could avoid humiliation. But it would be a major policy backflip for a government that has steadfastly rebuffed such an idea in favour of a national commissioner into suicides – an idea unpopular in veterans’ circles.

“They need to show some courage. This isn’t something I want to fight over,” Senator Lambie told The New Daily."
