Last week I scored another huge win in the Senate. I moved my 5th motion in two years on the topic of excess mortality and this time I was successful in securing the support of the majority of Senators. I have convinced the Senate to refer to the Community Affairs References Committee the issue of excess mortality in our nation.
In 2022, we experienced our highest excess death rate since World War II and excess deaths have plagued our nation since 2021 and continue to this day.
The Senate Inquiry process has begun and we are now accepting public submissions! We have just three and a half weeks until submissions close on 26 April.
If you have a personal story, knowledge, or expertise in this space, please prepare a submission for the committee. If you know someone who should put in a submission, let them know about the inquiry and urge them to contribute.
Submissions can be made via the committee website, in writing or via email. Your submission can remain confidential if you wish.
Some tips for preparing your submission can be found HERE and if you are having any issues, please feel free to call our office on (03) 9070 1900.
Thank you for your support. May this committee process give a voice to the family members of the deceased and deliver the answers that our nation so desperately needs. To put through a submission CLICK HERE.
