#MeAt10 with my Buba Lola. 80s tragic with my pink & white belted ensemble and bobby socks paired with glittery jelly sandals and a red Swatch watch. Kids may commit fashion crimes, but should never be imprisoned at age 10! #RaiseTheAge

My heart breaks to know that 499 Australian children under the age of 13 “will spend the holidays languishing in cells, surrounded by metal and cement instead of family and community.” Indigenous children are 23 times likelier to be there. #raisetheage https://t.co/AIqTSrXly8

“Imagine what it means for any child to be in concrete walls and behind iron bars on Christmas Day and not around the people who love them. The evidence screams of the psychological damage detention does to kids.”
Australia must #raisetheage to 14. https://t.co/Tu3fWDfYLN

Appalling.

It's been over 3 months since the Taliban took over & since then lives have been at risk.

There have been 100k + application for humanitarian visas already made.

Yet, our gov has not issued a single visa as a part of their already low target.#ActionForAfghanistan

@WomensLegalVic “Despite Australia being one of the first countries to legislate for gender equality, the nation has ranked joint last” - this is so disappointing. Businesses and organisations should conduct their own internal audits to assess the gap between their female & male employees. ✅

@GloriaSteinem @bonniemlogan I love what @GloriaSteinem and @bonniemlogan have in common. A commitment to “to get beyond gender” where the world no longer tries “to divide all human beings into two”. Let’s keep petitioning for the change where “individual uniqueness” is the norm.
