Description
Thursday Headlines: Support for Sussan Ley after Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price dumping, popular right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk shot at Utah rally, flash floods kill at least 11 people in Indonesia, ringleader behind antisemitic Sydney attacks charged, tens of thousands of Aussies at risk of identity fraud, and Elon Musk is no longer the world’s richest person!
Deep Dive: Hundreds of thousands of men become new dads each year, a milestone marked with joy, but also poor mental health outcomes for many.
One in ten fathers will experience depression, one in five anxiety, while research shows a man’s mental health has lasting impacts on not only himself, but his kids, and society more broadly.
In this episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy speaks with young dad Luke McClounan about his experience with postnatal depression and the ongoing stigma men face, while Dad’s Group CEO Thomas Docking weighs in on what’s behind the issue, and what needs to change.
