Sky News host Peta Credlin says by the end of 2020 there could be more people lost to suicide in Victoria than to coroanvirus. Ms Credlin spoke of recent suicide data released by Victoria's Coroners Court, which presented the September update, revealing 530 people have so far taken their own life this year in the state.

Yes... all those suicides due to RoboDebt are shocking. Are they still sending false debts to dead people?
Skewed News gets it wrong again. Records from the Victorian Coroner show that the suicide rate is two lower than for the same time last year. More false statements and lies from Skewed News.
Hi TwitterSupport, this tweet is misleading. Victorian Coroner's court data shows suicide is lower year to date than last year.
The blood is on chairman Dans hands.
EcoGreenTravel This is fake.
EcoGreenTravel Sky news have zero journalistic integrity.
What world order...?
False on two counts. First, a false comparison. It’s the number of lives ‘saved’ by restrictions that should be compared with suicide numbers. Secondly, false to suggest suicides are up on other years, which Coroner clearly says is not the case. Despicably politically motivated.
More suicides than RoboDebt?
Many, many, many more especially in Victoria. It’s heartbreaking watching the mental health of people you know and/or love disintegrate and not be able to help to the extent you’d want. SackDanAndrews ResignDanielAndrews DanLiedPeopleDied is criminally negligent.
Suicid figures are down you Liars
How low can you go before you decide you've hit the bottom of the barrel. Honestly even contemplating using suicide as part of your little culture war is really quite gross. Hope you sleep well
Typical misleading rubbish from . Conveniently forgot to mention that, to date, there is absolutely no increase in the suicide rate in Victoria compared to last year. 534 in 2019, 530 in 2020. This is why Sky, and Peta Credlin In particular, have zero credibility.
Once again Credlin all fiction no fact
FAKE NEWS. Look at the stats.
Irrespective of what your opinion of SkyNews and Credlin, she creating dialogue about suicides which is not being captured in free2air TV. There’s a strong correlation b/n increase in suicide & lockdown- loss of livelihoods. That’s fact not BS like some ignorant people believe
If that’s the case Peta Credlin... the Vic opposition, Sky and MSM, need to take a good strong look at themselves. The undermining of medical advice has been appalling. The majority of Victorians have been amazing and deserve respect.
It’s time for Dan to go. Dan Andrew’s the destroyer of the heart and soul and lives of all Victorians
ArtsakhStrong StopAzerbaijaniAggression StopErdogan StopAliyev
Well maybe they should stop watching sky news? That would save a lot of people feeling suicidal. Ps. Depression is not a joke. Please get help if you feel depressed . And stop listening to peta credlin.
And more unicorns on the dole. Credlin
It's been proven time and time again... the numbers are NO higher!
Trivialising mental health issues. Add this comment to Miranda Devine’s accusation that elderly people were being selfish re Covid, I suggest terminate their contract.
Great, I'll send her a razor blade.
Yes Covidiots like Peta Credlin may drive many to the deepest depths
They should be safer if they don't watch her show .
DanielAndrewsMP well done mate
Not according to statistics Peta
Here is the actual number to the end of September compared to previous years. What Peta is claiming appears to be at odds with the medical experts and trend to date. Regardless of COVID, it's still way too high.
since when was the opinion of your host ‘news’ or a ‘credible source’ . you’re becoming the problem. complete and utter ignorance and insensitivity towards mental illnesses.
Does Cretin have the number of suicides due to Robo Debt handy?..............yeah, I thought not.
I think there's a typo, It should read : Sky News host Peta Credlin says by the end of 2020 there could be more people lost to Sky News in Victoria than to coronavirus. :
Given 809 have died from Covid-19 vs 468 from Suicide that seems unlikely. However in NSW it is very likely to be true. About 900 suicides a year in NSW vs 53 COVID-19 deaths thus far. and I would call that a great success - to keep the COVID-19 death rate that low in NSW.
Who said what? Is she a public health expert? Oh no, just another failed “advisor”, yeh, like that’s a job.....Hey Sky, dont your talkers know how to read? I do & I found out rate hasn’t gone up. Gone down slightly. fail skynewssucks
I wonder how much the bullshit that comes out of Sky News and Murdoch entities generally contributes to suicide?
And of course the suicide rate would have been zero if there was no lockdown SarcasmFont
So she's an expert medical adviser now is she? Just a bloody know-it-all if you ask me.
Suicide numbers in Victoria in 2016, 17, 18 & 19 are all higher than what COVID deaths will be, Credlin who is doing her best to attack Dan Andrews is using suicide to drive her agenda which is an extremely abhorrent approach & she should be called out for it. Disgraceful!!
The first 5 words of the original thread eliminated any credibility associated with it.
Can't be far off
What a horrible manipulation of the information. It's sad but the numbers are pretty much the same as other years
no-one likes being told the truth.
ABCmediawatch
Listening to you, people would
And of course NO suicides would have happened if there was no lockdown irony
The full toll of this debacle will not be able to be reconciled for many years. And yet ... the fuckwit responsible is still maintaining his ignorance of the decisions made.
Scary stuff Really scary stuff emerging.
Only because there’s so few dying of coronavirus
That could be true but doesn't justify letting more people die from COVID19. It means we need to do better on suicide prevention. This is a long Term problem.
Coroners report: “ The Victorian coroners court published data from the Victorian Suicide Register on Thursday showing that 466 people have died from suicide in the state so far this year, compared to 468 people in the same period last year.” just more sophistry from Sky News
Covid affects those already knocking on deaths door. Suicide affects all ages. I can't see how the death of a sick 90+ yo, is presented as a 'tragedy' but the preventable deaths of young people are dismissed as unimportant.
Yes... definitely if we have to listen to any more of her ridiculous codswallop. Report on some real news and stop with the biased Murdoch Media propaganda. You used to be a decent news channel.
So true
DanielAndrewsMP does the end justifies the means?
The only reason for the mess is politicians want you to NEED THEM. They want people to fear the virus for they have this fervent want of being needed & be seen as being savoirs even if it destroys you. Until you say you don't need them, you will stay in lockdown . covid19vic
You people who believe suicide is on the decline are utter idiots, the govts injection of funds into the mental health sector should be enough to tell you something is wrong... Suicide is also kept out of the media, especially if it could be govt driven..
Absolutely correct, also the people that will die from suicide are healthy symptoms free, who die from anxiety and depression... As where the elderly in aged care are used as fear driven covid narratives die from pre-existing illnesses..
Oh this wrecker of Australia would know?
People need to stop listening to Sky News and their health will improve
It is a fact also number of children growing without the Basic because their family are not able anymore to provide to them a decent life , from a virus they created a worse pandemic of human history, misinformation pandemic,fear pandemic, manipulation pandemic
Going to be interesting the law Chairman Dan brought in to make company directors liable for workers deaths could make him liable for the death of Vic citizens from his actions let’s hope they bring back hanging
Misleading reporting of the most gross kind, please call this out ABCmediawatch
'Could be' but the statistics show... from PatMcGorry the suicide rate hasn't increased. Why aren't you more concerned with the 2000+ suicides because of the ILLEGAL robo-debt scam on vulnerable Australians? Suicides that actually happened. You're so biased is fking scary.
Mental health organisations have warned that suicides could increase as financial support such as jobkeeper is removed, but they have welcomed figures which show there has been no increase in the number of suicides in Victoria this year. I think she got that wrong.
I hope she has written evidence of that assumption.
Does anyone really listen to anything Credlin says Sky News is nothing but headline grabbing garbage, with outdated, irrelevant presenters
The sooner tops itself, the better for all of us So full of shit How many do you know in Victoria, who has suicided in 2020? Me - none
Can she be one of them
ScottMorrisonMP DanielAndrewsMP AnnastaciaMP GladysB this is on you for rediculous lockdowns, border closures imposed on non hotspot post codes and cutting interstate/cross border partners and families off for months. Stress anxietydepression worsened by absurd restrictions.
ScottMorrisonMP DanielAndrewsMP You have to take responsibility for this and the economic and social destruction the rediculous lockdowns and border closures have caused. Isolate, Control and Contain hotspot post codes only. A new United one country model is needed not several.
Yeah, if only the LNP haven’t been continuously stripping funding from mental health services for the last 7 years...
Really unhappy to see this.
I believe suicide deaths are well over the corona deaths.
Absolute garbage. And totally false.
Purge the weak willed
Peta : How are you going to determine whether a person's mental health is related to covid or not. Probably one of the most ignorant things that has appeared in the Sky News Australia Twitter account in a long time. AUMentalHealth MHFAus Oz4mentalhealth blackdoginst
They should report the number of people who died of covid rather than how many died with Covid.
Um bullshit
Sky news didn't give a fuck about suicide last year when we had over 3000 Australians take their lives why now?
Maths obviously not Credlins strong point
So far we have less suicides than last year.. read the coroners report. As a mental health nurse I read the chief psychiatrist reports every month and we have more people accessing mental health services than ever before however suicides are way down on last year. Enough rubbish
There could be? Latest Vic suicide numbers show a decline. Peta Credlin always gets it wrong - just look at how her advice worked out for Tony Abbott
Will she be one of them ?
Suicides are actually lower than at the same time last year but go off I guess.
Very sad but positive to see September 2020 had a lower number than the 36 months before it.
And last year 534 to date. What’s your point
DanielAndrewsMP and VictorianCHO don't care. Their only metric is covid cases, nothing else.
Another Sky channel bullshit lies. Every year more than 3000 people committed suicide in Australia before corona virus, reasons are to many crazy medication that messes up with people’s brains 🧠. You should reported more about crazy medication if you’re concern for people health
pulpyfictorious This is one of the saddest side effects not discussed by anyone. Yet it is the important factor not taken into consideration. We must stop keeping people prisoners in their own homes NOW.
Peta - the booze bus isvout the front and if you need the number for AA go and google it
Your mate may have been responsible for quite a few suicides ,👼
I don’t know how anyone can say this is false without the figures. Not taking the suicide and mental health toll into account is ‘despicable.’ Suicide is affecting a much broader cross section of the community and will take its toll on generations to come.
VictorianCHO what ever happened to 'First do no harm'?
If they have watched her show, it is a foregone conclusion.
And how did Cretin come up with those figures, and what qualification was out on the base stats. Lies, damned lies, and Peta Credlin.
Completely false information. Completely false. Deliberate dishonesty for political purposes. Despicable.
Credless has ...
