Thanks to ⁦@ABCthedrum⁩ for having me & my colleague Sarah on last Friday to discuss the crisis of 41,000 people in modern slavery in Australia and what we can all do about it.

Starts at 35’32” and runs for 25 mins. https://t.co/acYopGDutC

Very excited to be part of the Anti-slavery Commissioner’s team and get cracking on his globally ground-breaking plan to fight modern slavery in NSW!

[James Cockayne @James_Cockayne]

Incredibly privileged to get to work with Sarah every day. Thank you @theprojecttv #modernslavery #antislavery

[James Cockayne @James_Cockayne]

I am immensely proud that Sarah is a member of my team. I learn from her every day we work together.

[James Cockayne @James_Cockayne]

Did you know there are survivors of modern slavery in Australia?

For #sorryday I visited the former Kinchela Boys Home to learn from the powerful #truthtelling of survivors of practices that would today qualify as modern slavery.

Great news!

[Mark Dreyfus @MarkDreyfusKCMP]

We've delivered a key election commitment to fund an Anti-Slavery Commissioner.

Modern slavery - including human trafficking, forced labour and forced marriage - are abhorrent crimes.

The Commissioner is part of our comprehensive Tackling Modern Slavery plan.

A very productive day in Sydney meeting with a range of stakeholders. My sincere gratitude to @James_Cockayne, Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner for New South Wales, and his wonderful team who kindly organised everything.

[James Cockayne @James_Cockayne]

It was good to visit #NewEngland last week to listen to local stakeholders & talk about #modernslavery risks & responses.

I heard about risks in horticulture, meat processing, massage parlours, retail, nail salons & in forced marriage.

1. Great to see @Tony_Burke and Australian Government introduce the Protecting Worker Entitlements Bill to Parliament. Everyone deserves a fair go in their workplace. See my statement in thread 👇

[James Cockayne @James_Cockayne]

Important new bill to create Australia’s 2nd Anti-slavery Commissioner role, in ACT, by @GreensACT. The bill would follow NSW’s lead making public buyers consider #modernslavery risk. I look forward to sharing NSW’s experience & insights as the ACT parliament considers this bill.

[Migrant Justice Institute @MigrantJusticeI]

Today with @humanrightsHRLC we lead a call of 40 organisations, incl unions and faith groups, to urge the federal government to establish whistleblower protections that enable migrant workers to report exploitation without risking their visa https://t.co/hPtJoQA8bi

[MSF Afghanistan @MSF_Afghanistan]

[MSF Ukraine @MSF_Ukraine]

#Ukraine: On Tuesday evening, 21 June, #Kostiantynivka hospital where an @MSF surgical team works received eight patients referred from #Bakhmut – an area that has experienced increasingly heavy fighting in recent weeks.

[MSF Ukraine @MSF_Ukraine]

Medical data and accounts from patients evacuated on @MSF #medicaltrain show that the war in #Ukraine is being conducted with an outrageous lack of care to distinguish and protect civilians.

[MSF Ukraine @MSF_Ukraine]

Today marks 100 days of the war in Ukraine. See how it impacts mental health of people and what are we in @MSF doing to help them:

[MSF Ukraine @MSF_Ukraine]

The MSF #MedicalTrain. Never done before by @Ukrzaliznytsia or @MSF. So, what it is? All explained in this thread... 🧵

[MSF Ukraine @MSF_Ukraine]

“We want to go home. To our Ukrainian towns and cities that we lived in.”
In March, Anya and her family fled their home in #Volnovakha, eastern #Ukraine. Like her, thousands of people are forced to leave their homes and live in safe shelters in and around #Dnipro & #Zaporizhzhia.

[MSF Ukraine @MSF_Ukraine]

Heavy fighting in eastern & south-eastern #Ukraine has forced thousands of people to leave their homes and seek safety in #Dnipro & #Zaporizhzhia.

The local communities have transformed every possible place into shelters where these people can now live in relative safety. 🧵

[MSF Ukraine @MSF_Ukraine]

Yesterday, @MSF responded to a request from Ukrainian authorities and transferred 7 patients injured in an explosion in #Bilohorivka, in #Luhansk oblast. Our staff report what they saw and what our patients told them 👇
