Construction industry suicide rate

From The Panel, 4:50 pm on 27 September 2018

The construction industry has the highest rate of male suicide in New Zealand. A Building Research Association (BRANZ) survey identifies a macho culture as part of the problem and there's also uncertainty around regular employment. Meanwhile, there's a call to chnage the terminology around suicide with some not liking using the word "committed" thinking it indicates a crime.
