On behalf of Les’s family, the Les Twentyman Foundation would like to thank the Victorian government for its kind offer of a state funeral for Les Twentyman in what will be a fitting tribute for a great Australian who gave so much to the Victorian community. 🧡🕊️
Rest in Peace, incredible @LT_Foundation - you are a remarkable human and thank you for everything you did for so many children.

Yet another morning of media coverage of women killed by men’s violence in Australia.
