ffs another one. our mental health system is an absolute joke. rip ian, you deserved better.
yeah nah this is just sad. bloke clearly slipped through the cracks. 😢
cracks? more like a gaping chasm mate.
coroner findings are all well and good but what's actually gonna change? nothing. same old story.
preach. nothing changes cos no one holds anyone accountable.
used to see him around dunedin, always seemed like a decent guy. system failed him hard.

does anyone actually read these coroner reports? or do they just gather dust while more people die?
my mate had similar issues, got discharged with no follow-up. lucky he's still alive. lucky.
lucky you said. so many aren't.
can we please fund mental health properly instead of just saying 'thoughts and prayers' every time? 🙄
thoughts and prayers are free i guess, actual care costs too much for the government 🤷
