When one of these tragic incidents take place the media focus is often on the alleged failures of the defence members chain of command.<br />What is rarely reported is the great strides that the ADF has made in the last 10 years with respect to this issue. <br />It is never reported that all ADF uniformed members (in addition to large numbers of ADF public servants) are required to attend an annual brief on suicide prevention.<br />Also, when was the last time anyone heard the real statistic, that suicides by ADF uniformed personnel are roughly half of the national rate.AnotherJimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906480814128813107.post-38695208288690269142012-03-14T14:07:42.183+11:002012-03-14T14:07:42.183+11:00Intresting question...as you know ASIS had its wea...Intresting question...as you know ASIS had its weapons taken away after the 1983 training incident that went terribly wrong.
