Hi John
It might have been this paper:
Page et al. 2006 Divergent trends in suicide by socio-economic status in 
Australia. Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, 41(11), 911-917.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16951920

It does not mention Gini coefficients, but it does report SES differences in 
both suicide rates and trends, complicated by age and gender:

'suicide rates increased significantly in all SES groups until 1998, before 
diverging significantly in the most recent 5-year period, particularly in 
younger males (P < 0.0001). In young males, suicide rates in the most recent 
period increased in the low SES group from 44.8 in 1994-1998 to 48.6 in 
1999-2003 (an 8% increase). In contrast, suicide rates in the middle SES 
group decreased from a peak of 37.3 to 33.5 (a 10% decrease), and in the 
high SES group from a peak of 33.0 to 27.9 (a 15% decrease). A similar 
statistically significant divergence of a lesser magnitude was also evident 
in all age males and younger females (20-34 years).'

'SES differentials in suicide persisted in Australia for most of the period 
1979-2004. The decline in suicide in young males in the most recent 
quinquennium was limited to middle and high SES groups, while the low SES 
group displayed a continued increase'

Subject: [SDOH] Refinding the best stats on suicide

Dear friends
Sorry folks for posting this
 - sometime ago some-one on this list kindly pointed me towards an article 
(in an Australian Journal I think) relating to my search for the titled 
data.
But I've lost that article/resource.  What a foolish boy - Grrrr!
Can who-ever helped me then, re-help, or some-one else?
(BTW - the last time I looked at that data, it seemed to bear no 
relationship to GINI etc - odd that)
Love 2(u) all
john
