Wtf is happening in Sydney recently

Maybe this is the result of all the cuts to mental health services :/

I remember when Abbott's government cut the budget for mental health and within around a month it seemed like the homeless population in the CBD doubled.

Ima guess poverty on the rise sinec they have decent access to mental health care

There isn't a healthcare system in the world that can cure "driven to murder multiple people". The pro-gun community blames "mental health" not because it's the root cause but because it will take 100 years to fix.

After 20 years of scapegoating things they find undesirable (like video games, gay marriage and music), they've finally blamed a few things that are at least contributing to the problem but ultimately they're being just as dishonest as they've always been.

Most studies show lowering poverty and providing easy access to mental health as the two driving factors in preventing violent crime
