Former PM's comments may 'lead to other people seeking help'

NDIS Minister Bill Shorten has discussed mental health and the importance of “seeking support when you’re doing it tough”. This follows former prime minister Scott Morrison’s comments about his own mental health issues and anxiety whilst in office. Mr Shorten told Sky News Australia he “respects him coming out and talking about it”. “It might lead to other people seeking help,” Mr Shorten said. “If a prime minister says they have that problem, then maybe it’s ok for other people to admit they’ve got that problem too.”
