Investigate the Surging Excess Deaths in Australia in 2022 and 2023


Investigate the Surging Excess Deaths in Australia in 2022 and 2023
The issue
I am a 56-year-old Australian who, like many others, followed the government's advice over the last few years. Despite no history of heart disease, my age group has seen an alarming increase in deaths, especially due to heart issues. Do you realise that for 2022 and 2023 the amount of deaths over and above the median in Australia is the equivalent a large jet airliner crashing each week, every week and yet nobody is talking about it. That is alot of deaths.
OECD statistics reveal a significant rise in deaths not only across Australia but also other countries such as New Zealand, United States, Canada and United Kingdom. In contrast stands Sweden - a country that have been doing things differently the last few years whose numbers are significantly different.
The total excess death rates for 2023 January to beginning of September show a stark difference: Australia at 13.69% New Zealand at 14.51%, Canada at 16.92%, UK at 9.69% and US at 8.72%, when statistical data shows that normally variance is no more than 1 oe 2% and Sweden -1.70%, ie no difference at all. These figures are more than just numbers; they represent lives lost prematurely.
We demand that our government launch an immediate investigation into these excess deaths (2022-23). We need transparency about what led to this surge in fatalities.
Our lives matter; our health matters; our future matters! We deserve answers now! Please sign this petition urging our government to investigate these concerning statistics immediately.
As well as signing this petition reach out to your local member for both state and federal parliament.
I've extracted the data from OECD.stat for 2021/2022 and 2023 and put it in a graph here
