Friday Headlines: ANZAC Day services are held around the country, Extra security at MCG for today's football clash, Pope's Funeral tomorrow. Deep Dive: Thousands of former ADF members have died by suicide, and despite years of advocacy and a Royal Commission, families say not enough has changed. David Finney was a sailor who proudly served for two decades before his mental health deteriorated. After years of trauma, both in service and at home, David took his life in 2019 — one of many veterans failed by the system. In this episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy speaks with David's mother Julie-Ann Finney, now a veteran mental health advocate, to unpack what needs to change and why so many veterans are still falling through the cracks.  Follow The Briefing:  TikTok: @listnrnewsroom  Instagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcast  YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroom  Facebook: @LiSTNR Newsroom See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
