Open Letter To Anthony Albanese – Stop Ignoring The Gender Suicide Gap

Anthony Albanese,

Pay attention to my truth.

As the grandson of a celebrity chef, Clarissa Fox, and of two distinguished theologians, Professor AC Fox and the Right Reverend JR Blanchard, as a man who was a Registered Midwife for 30 years, as the creator of 4 head-of-government-significant art displays in the fourth biggest country in the world crucial to Australia’s future and as a man in poverty and denied the aged pension for a year because of two unaccountable female bullies and one cold emotionally incompetent man at Services Australia, I say to you:

It is time that you recognise the existence of the Gender Suicide Gap.

I believe that you lead a political party that systemically persecutes Australian men contributing massively to a gender suicide gap in round figures of about four male deaths every single day. But the climate of fear that Labor governments have created makes it hard for good people to come forward and state obvious truths.

But not everybody is silent about everything.

I quote from the website of Senator Anne Ruston this year:

“ANTHONY ALBANESE’S SHAMEFUL BROKEN PROMISE ON SUICIDE PREVENTION

(Wednesday 30 April 2025)

Suicide Prevention Australia has today released a damning report that shows Anthony Albanese has failed in his promise to make suicide prevention a ‘personal priority.’ “

That is a disgrace.

I demand that you stand up against the demonization of men in this country.

Anthony Albanese, your Labor Party governments disgust me.

Their systemic misandry is evil. It has ruined my life in Australia.

Three quarters of suicides are male.

Your governments have dead men’s blood on their hands.

Shame on you.

Tomorrow, Friday The Thirteenth, The International Association for Suicide Prevention 33rd World Congress takes place in Vienna.

I pray that God, courage and the spirit of truth will guide their work.

How many people in Australia is Anthony Albanese leaving behind?

Last year, on May 22nd, because of three weeks of stupidity and bullying from most but not all of the staff at the Services Australia office in Foostcray, I had a nervous breakdown in the office and collapsed to the floor howling in agony.

The Services Australia response to my distress was to shut me out.

I remain shut out from normal services to this day.

As a result I have not received the Aged Pension to which I am entitled and which I need to survive and maintain a home in Australia.

When I complained about this to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s office, I was fobbed off.

So, last November, I made a formal human rights complaint to the Office Of The High Commissioner For Human Rights (OHCHR) of the United Nations against Albanese because I had no chance of redress in Australia at that time.

This year on May the Third, the night of his federal election victory, Anthony Albanese said, “……. together, we are turning the corner and together we will make our way forward with no-one held back and no-one left behind.”

This is patently untrue with respect to me and, I am certain, with respect to many other people. I consider it a lie.

To rub salt into the wound, Albanese’s political slogan of May Third is displayed on the widow of the clinic of my new GP, who strikes me as a very kind and decent man who is trying, as best he can, to help me through this mess of things that just should not happen.

This website exists to call out Albanese’s political lie. His dishonesty makes him totally unfit to be Prime Minister in my eyes.

While I await the lengthy process of getting a result from the OHCHR, I am establishing this website to both tell my own story and allow some other people with similar stories to be heard too.

The Truth will set us free.
