''The criminal legal system takes children away from their families, communities and other support, and pushes them down a path that often leads to adult prison." - #RaiseTheAge

Look towards the alternatives that heal, not harm: https://t.co/tz66v7K5Yh

Shame on you Victoria!Children do not belong behind bars.

[National Indigenous Times @nit_times]

The Victorian government has reneged on its commitment to raise the age of criminal responsibility to 14, betraying organisations who campaigned for the change and experts who highlighted its benefits. https://t.co/pP3Df1vyoS

"Prior to his death, Jomen's Mum rang and tried to communicate with the prison system on multiple occasions. She saw her son deteriorating and yet nothing was done."

"They're coming back in wooden boxes"

There is a health service crisis in the Torres Strait Islands. Communities are calling for an independent investigation.

"My cousin… this poor girl asked for help repeatedly from professionals, workers, police and the courts and could not get the right help that she needed to protect herself..."

Stanley was only 19 years old when he died. ⚠️Warning⚠️ Death in Custody - the National Justice Project is supporting the family of Stanley Inman in their fight for culturally safe health care in WA prisons. @P4JH_ https://t.co/JTnWXDyDob

[National Justice Project @NJP_Au]

Two warnings, two suicides, and now, two inquests. @GeorgeNewhouse asks: "How many more suicides will it take before the WA government acts?"

Thank you @RudiMaxwell1 and @hcnub at @AAPNewswire for reporting on this important story.

In May 2020, a Doomadgee woman visited hospital with serious symptoms but was sent home with Panadol. Later that month, she passed away.

Last week, the QLD Health Ombudsman found the care provided by Doomadgee Rural Hospital unacceptable.

While Ms Sandy was dying in Doomadgee Hospital, her mother Eunice Diamond said she and her two sisters were not allowed to go into the hospital to comfort her daughter, and were locked outside in the baking heat while Ms Sandy fought for her life. https://t.co/5cGRqGC2Dq

Our governments are sacrificing the basic human right to healthcare for the opportunity to lock more people up.

A $1.1 billion prison is sitting empty in Victoria, while detainees in existing prisons are "crying out" for basic health care.

📢We call on the Government to provide adequate support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services across the nation📢

Our people navigating the legal system depend on the culturally safe, accessible support offered by these services.

It has been 32 years since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody was handed down.

Today, we mourn 540 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody since the Royal Commission was handed down.

Implement the recommendations. Stop killing us.
