Deeply shocked to see the bullying & attempted intimidation of President Zelenskyy in Oval Office today. President Zelenskyy’s people are suffering hugely as they defend their freedom. They & their leader deserve support not abuse. Europe must now step up: https://t.co/aNey7yQNNs

No SCREEN TIME if you’re under 16 but you can do REAL TIME if you’re over the age of 10. Get real @AlboMP.

How can we have higher expectations

I’m appalled at the outcome of what’s happened in the US but honestly how can we expect or demand a higher standard, when our country went low too👇🏿

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

Join @DjirraVIC’s friends and allies for a walk around Canberra’s Lake Burley Griffin in support of 16 Days of Activism!

This is a great way to SHOW UP in solidarity with Djirra and get ACTIVE in your ACTIVEism to END gender-based violence against Aboriginal women & girls 1/4

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

The Bridge to Bridge walk is a 5km loop (Commonwealth Ave Bridge to Kings Ave Bridge) in the heart of our nation's capital.

Bring a water bottle and your workmates, friends, family and your dog! T-shirts will be provided @DjirraVIC 3/4

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

It’s time to INVEST in @DjirraVIC’s specialist services that work with Mums experiencing violence to stay safe & together with their children.
We MUST keep our children out of these unsafe & punitive systems.
Our children’s lives matter to us & they MUST matter to govt 5/5

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

@DjirraVIC is DEVASTATED and HEARTBROKEN by data from @VicGovDFFH that 66 children have died in Victoria in state care over the last four years 1/5

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

Our system is overstretched because the most vulnerable and marginalised are targeted by it.

Family violence is one of the biggest drivers to our kids being caught up in the UNSAFE SYSTEM @DjirraVIC 4/5

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

@DjirraVIC invites you to celebrate with us & be a part of our story by donating $22 - that’s just $1 for every year we have worked at the frontline of Aboriginal women and children’s safety 🖤💛❤️

Donate here to be part of our amazing journey: https://t.co/771FTpqYR1 2/2

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

It’s hard to believe that @DjirraVIC turned 22 today! Our staff gathered to celebrate our achievements over a cupcake or two. I want to again thank our staff for their commitment to @DjirraVIC & our inspirational Board members who have guided us through some challenging times 1/2

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

We MUST see detail on exactly HOW & WHEN promised funding will be allocated. Unless & until sustainable long-term funding hits the ground, nothing will change & Aboriginal women & their children will continue to be unsafe & in danger @DjirraVIC @NationalFVPLS #NAJP #saveFVPLS 3/3

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

@DjirraVIC’s Federal FUNDING will END in less than nine months. Aboriginal women and their children DESERVE BETTER.

Under the new National Access to Justice Partnership (NJAP), there are promises of -

1/3

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

- INCREASED & QUARANTINED FUNDING
- LONGER TERM FUNDING AGREEMENTS
- PAY PARITY
- INDEXATION

When will we have CERTAINTY and see ACTION?

Without this, Aboriginal women and children’s lives are at RISK

Without this, our WORKFORCE is COMPROMISED

DjirraVIC

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

Demand for Djirra’s life saving frontline services grew by 33% last year, compared with the previous year. We welcome the Fed Government’s support for indexation & pay parity for @DjirraVIC & other specialist Family Violence Prevention & Legal Services (FVPLSs)@NationalFVPLS 1/5

[Antoinette Braybrook AM @BraybrookA]

ABORIGINAL WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER.

As we move closer towards finalising NAJP, @DjirraVIC calls for:

1. FUNDING CERTAINTY and CLARITY for our life saving, frontline services
