The ACT has committed to raising the age, and my view and the view I put to other Attorneys-General at the meeting on Friday is that it should be raised to 14. (1/5)

So, what does the 2020-21 Federal Budget mean for young people? @YACVic has done some analysis so that you don't have to!

@HelenKea @TooheyMatthew @MattPWade @gemkillen @ClareSoutherton @MindeBruce I loved giving guest lectures for you @HelenKea. If I come back I promise to put lots of thought into my outfit @TooheyMatthew

[Matthew Toohey @TooheyMatthew]

Dr @justin_d_barker rocks youth sector chic better than most. His beard is fantastic, and his earlier life as a gymnast has stayed with him in terms of a compact, muscular physique.
Good news on the policy front, doc. Well done.

@TooheyMatthew Good I love this tweet

[Youthlaw @YouthlawVic]

Interesting point made by @Robyn_Oxley about use of the word 'offender'. Once the offence has been committed, why do we continue to call them a youth offender? How can children ever navigate a way out of the criminal system once labelled? #ncpw20 #Raisetheage #Mythofchildoffender

[Patrick McGorry @PatMcGorry]

Australia's mental health funding has surged after coronavirus – so why is it so difficult to get help? Need to release new workforces: senior graduate students, peer workers etc. And rapidly change work practices in public and private sectors. https://t.co/CCIcZaVMam

So pleased to see the return of the Journal of Applied Youth Studies (JAYS) to the arena of youth research and practice debates. The editorial sums it up.

Congrats @CSD_ACT Family Safety Hub & @ACTHumanRights on pres/n about young people affected by family violence. We heard how they are hindered by a conspiracy of silence & an inadequate system response. Yet understand deeply complex nature of their sit/n. Let's learn from them.
