Maori suicides at an all time high

A recent New Zealand Medical Record article looks into suicide rates in New Zealand, focusing on age and cultural patterns. The results showed that Maori suicide rates are at a record high, being 1.6 times that of non-Maori. Wire producer Jess Smith spoke to John Snowdon, an old age psychiatrist and the author of the article, about the results and some of the reasons for them.
