Senators on both sides of the aisle have condemned Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for what they have described as inaction from the government on mental health reform.

“We are experiencing a mental health crisis in this country – the former chair of Mental Health Australia knows it, our community knows it but Labor does not seem to care,” he said.
