Castlemaine Cemetery

One of the oldest cemeteries in Victoria’s goldfields on Dja Dja Wurrung Country ⚰️🪦⚱️

A field bright with poppies and ox-eye daisies, with the beautiful church of St Mary, Canons Ashby beyond❤️
This church was once a 12th century Augustinian Priory and remains wonderfully evocative⛪️

Images of the Gaza War Cemetery - containing 263 Australian war graves - tabled just now in the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence & Trade Committee during my questioning.

Confirmed that its "quite possible" bodies of Australian soldiers have been disturbed. Distressingly, I'd say it's very likely looking at these pictures taken after parts of the cemetery were bulldozed by the IDF.

The Australian Government should hold the Israeli Government to account on this and ask them to fully fund the restoration.

Israeli forces have bulldozed part of a Gaza cemetery containing the war graves of dozens of British, Australian and other allied soldiers killed in the first and second world wars, satellite imagery and witness testimony reveal.

There is a consultation in progress by @NualaMcAllister MLA — to put a Burial Protection Bill in place to stop the graves of thousands of stillborn children & children from institutions from being repurposed or resold / developed.

A buried scandal that's haunted Ireland for decades, with excavations now underway for the remains of hundreds of babies at a home for unwed mothers— their remains hidden in a septic tank beneath a housing estate. CNN’s @donie on this painful story.

After what’ll have been 11 years since the story broke, the fight for answers will finally begin.
