At what cost? we've saved a few 80 year olds, but lost hundreds of younger people via suicide and created a huge long tail of mental health problems along with poor educational outcomes (Australian here).

Do you have data the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare doesn't have?

In NSW suicide fell by 5% last year:

There was also a dip in Victoria:

Don’t try brush it off as a few 80 year olds. Over half a million people have needlessly died in the states. How’s the mental well being of those half a million families, how’s the mental well being of the millions more who were sick and thought they were going to die.
