[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 400232, member: 1991"] On Aussie news today there are reports of politicians from both sides (I won't name them here) trying to make political capital out of this. It makes me so angry! They are missing the point, and if they really wanted to make a difference they could win themselves so many more brownie points by saying, "This tells us we need to look in more detail at mental health." There is no way this was remotely political. I don't even think the various competitive rhetoric from political parties could be responsible for this. Yes, it can cause problems for some unstable people being whipped up by it, but form what this guy was apparently writing beforehand, I don't think it impinged on his radar. His thinking was in a different universe entirely. I hope the politicians get the message soon, to stop using this case as a weapon with which to bludgeon their political opponents. I think it is very bad taste for them to even try. And I apply that to ALL politicians, regardless of who they claim to represent. While ever this is seen as even remotely political, nothing positive can come out of it. And those lives should not be wasted. Marg [/QUOTE]
