The man who is solely responsible for a vast majority of the personal anguish faced by Australians has today been warned to not patronise us by pretending he gives a fuck about mental heath.
Today is RUOK DAY, which takes place on the 9th of September every year. It is our nation’s ‘day of action’ dedicated to reminding everyone to ask one another “Are you OK?” and to look for the signs of mental health struggle in friends, family, and colleagues
This campaign is perfect for Scotty From Marketing’s brand as leader, because it’s all talk – and puts the responsibility of mental health back on the individual and their family. Rather than the government, who feel they have no obligation for to actually fix the devastating cracks in the system.
It also absolves him of blame for his many other fuck ups that have lead to huge spikes in mental illness amongst Australians.
You know, like his inability to order enough jabs to immunise our entire population to prevent devastating lockdowns.
Or his decisions to relocate post-bushfire-recovery funding away from the worst affected electorates, simply because they voted Labor last election.
Or his villianous robodebt scandals, the slashing of the NDIS budget, and the abolition of the family court.
By simply dropping an ‘RUOK’ on us, Scotty from Marketing is able to put a tick next to the very urgent epidemic of mental illness amongst Australians, one of our leading killers and most under-resourced health sectors.
In fact, outside of a chirpy little social media campaign, it would seem the only time that the Prime Minister is willing to pretend mental illness exist is when someone in his party is accused of either perpetrating or concealing a horrible rape, in which case he demands the media and public show some compassion while they disappear for paid leave.
With majority of the nation in lockdown, away from loved ones, and losing money every day due to his pitiful focus-grouped attempt at leadership, this motherfucker better even think about asking us if we are okay.
