We are getting consistent reports of lockdowns at Southern Remand Centre. This is cruel. #politas

Tom Lynch never had the interests of prisoners in his representation of prison staff. @@suebailey25 #politas

This week's estimates concerning prisoners. Appalling. Prisoners denied parole because lack of 'suitable housing' zero solutions provided by Minister or bureaucrats. Loss of liberty should not be dependent on housing #politas

Here's the official #politas govt renders of the impact of the stadium on Cenotaph sightlines

We're releasing them because govt won't

They confirm the loss of sightlines important to the country's oldest state war memorial

Until now, those sightlines were protected

Horrifying to see this level of militarized police violence in Naarm/Melbourne to protect the a weapons expo and the ability of multinational arms companies to profit from ongoing war and genocide

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

Freed from the shackles of Labor Party discipline, @SenatorPayman is emerging as a new, independent political talent. She may surprise a lot of people. #auspol

@Lisa9Sophia @stephhodginsmay I stand with the @Greens on this. Shameful to have #genocide enabling companies at this no doubt taxpayers funded killing machine convention

[Steph Hodgins-May @stephhodginsmay]

Solidarity to those protesting Land Forces in Naarm today.

We called for this disgraceful expo to be cancelled, the government didn't listen.

Peaceful disruption is all we have left. I call on Victoria Police to stop their use of excessive force.

"guns, drones, armoured vehicles and missiles were on display, ...from companies like Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries, targeted by protesters for their direct ties to the Israeli Defence Forces and the war in Gaza." Enablers of #genocide

This killing machine junket should never have been held.

@RockliffTeam priority is @afl not ending state sanctioned child abuse #politas

[Prisoners Legal Service Tasmania @LegalTasmania]

The most damning Custodial Inspector report ever and @RockliffTeam refuses to act. This is enabling human rights abuse. #politas

We are today calling for a commission of inquiry into the monumental and horrific state of the Tasmanian prison system. And as for Ashley YDC it is state sanctioned child abuse #politas

#politas Last weekend Risdon Prison was locked down. A Sunday am visitors session took place bu the afternoon was cancelled. Unacceptable @BarnsGreg @themercurycomau @ExaminerOnline @theadvocatetas @abchobart

[Prisoners Legal Service Tasmania @LegalTasmania]

This is a scandal. Ashley is destroying the lives of vulnerable young people. It must close now. #politas @jailingisfailing @DavidJKillick @BarnsGreg
