Dr Crystal McKinnon and I wrote an op-ed published in The Age today exposing the gross cover-up we encountered in Veronica Nelson’s inquest and Aunty Donna Nelson’s call for accountability.

Thank you @crystalam.

The Inquest into the Passing of Veronica Nelson has highlighted the urgent need for bail reform, and the failure of governments to implement the recommendations of RCIADIC, which could have prevented this tragic death. See LACW's statement attached. #JusticeForVeronicaNelson

Wonderful to share the stage with @FirstSteptweets last night and hear about the vital work you are doing at the nexus of addiction, criminalisation and homelessness.

Jill from Law & Advocacy Centre for Women at the Melbourne Women's Fund presentation night speaking of a hypothetical client: 'She is our client. She's difficult and her life is chaos; but providing a legal response is not enough.' @LACW_Vic

A privilege to be speaking tonight at the @FitzroyLegal panel discussion on Women’s Decriminalisation and Carceral Resistance, alongside passionate advocates and an incredible panel of women with lived experience.

Such important work by BBB and @WittGorrie showing the importance of integrated community based support and real alternatives to imprisonment.

@fchralph Thank you!!

Shocking research coming out of Queensland in relation to women's increasing criminalisation and the disproportionate impacts on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.

[First Nations Advocates Against Family Violence @FNAAFV_FVPLS]

Women sent to jail in Queensland increased by 338%, and one third are First Nations women. Aboriginal women are also more likely to be sentenced for non-violent and minor crimes than non-Indigenous women, research shows.
