Today, a court hearing challenging the Government's policy to send people seeking asylum to Rwanda has begun. We urge the new PM to show it is possible to show compassion, competence and control by abandoning this cruel and unworkable scheme.

Someone posted this on my feed, and it’s a good reminder for those who balk when the messaging changes or evolves during the study of a new virus. Science is the only tool we have, and it’s doing its best.
We have to be much smarter in relation to how our justice system treats people with cognitive impairments.

To understand cruelty of Australia’s treatment of people seeking asylum and refugees we together must first face & own that racism is at the heart of it. We wouldn’t be treating people like this if they were white. These are policies steeped in xenophobia & politics of the other.
Great reminder: Take every opportunity to be kind, expect nothing in return, and surround yourself with people who do the same. Truth is, you never know when a random act of passing kindness might change or even save a life.

India travel ban & this tragic case of Aishwarya says a lot about society.

@JailingsFailing@BarnsGreg Justice reinvestment is all about redirecting money that is spent on prisons and putting it into early intervention programs and addressing the underlying causes of crime. This builds up community capacity and makes us safer. It works. We need to embrace this approach.
