No longer can our Government say they did not know, POVERTY and MENTAL HEALTH are a GIVEN! Campbell Newman please explain why our Mental Health Services and programs have been cut, funding slashed. The ramifications of such poor cruel policy seen widely around the State. It is time we enable our Services with the right skills, enabling service providers to understand Trauma and Mental Health and how it can impact a persons life throughout. How many more victims of a system are we to mourn. Support from the Government where was the Government when report after report has been released to show the harm. We have seen what can do Newman Govt has done, It is time for YOU to ask the right questions of your politicians. Personal note it is environment then the people who sustain it, without the two we have nothing. Greed, Power and control is and will always be mankinds downfall. BRJ Queensland Treasurer Tim Nicholls was in Cairns on Saturday offering support from the Government, but would not be drawn on speculation the mother was being investigated by child services. I am not in a position to be able to speculate on those matters. That will no doubt be something that will be explored by police in the days ahead, he said. Mr Nicholls said he could not confirm reports the mother was reported to child services two weeks ago. That is something I havent heard about and again I think that is something police will need to investigate, he said. Meanwhile, the families of the eight children who were killed have started to arrive in Cairns to begin a traditional mourning period ahead of their funerals. In Brisbane the Torres Strait Island Community is holding a memorial service at Inala today. Pastor Daniel Tapau said anyone was welcome to attend the services. Today we will remember the eight young victims dearly, especially in this Christmas season and many of our elders will attend the service today from all regions from the Torres Strait, he said.
