Q: Men in Australia die 6 years younger than women on average. How can Governments in Australia do a better job of improving men and boys' health? A: Childhood stressors (such as poor parenting approaches, parental conflict/separation, a primary/secondary education system that does not sufficiently recognize different intelligence and learning styles, schools under-reaction to bullying) are primary shapers of a child’s thinking and behavioural styles – which they inevitably carry into adulthood. A whole new approach to parenting education and how our classrooms function is required.

Q: How can Governments in Australia do a better job of improving men's working lives? This includes making work healthier and safe, but also includes helping men without employment to find work. A: Stop bashing unions! Make sure the regulatory bodies, public health and safety, are sufficiently funded and not politicised. Our social system works to the benefit of the employers when we have a pool of unemployed. Ask any employee how difficult it is to raise an health/safety/… issue with an employer when there is a host of people in debt ready to work under any situation. We have just had a young 18yo crash to his death from unsafe scaffolding. I started my working career in the 60’s and 70’s when there really was full employment … the full time employment statistics weren’t fudged as they are today. I had bargaining ability and was treated respectfully and this was a mutually, employer/employee beneficial arrangement. We need to change the culture of ‘wealth/power’ entitlement.

Promote better mental health plans, spaces where men could connect with other men without women intervention. Promote social activities in communities(cycling, markets, dances, art exhibitions) that would work like networking events without the networking hassle
