In NSW children as young as 10 were fined: 3,600 fines were issued to minors over 2 years during the COVID-19 pandemic - to children as young as 10, worth up to $5000. Immediate reform of the NSW fines system as a new report reveals that a heavy-handed approach to policing public health orders (PHOs) #NSWPolice #fines #reform #justicereinvestment https://t.co/iTFYQLY9wQ

Excellent explainer by Prof Penny Crofts and Dr Honni van Rijswijk on robodebt, the tort of misfeasance and whether those responsible for harms caused can be criminally prosecuted @UTSEngage @UTSResearch @UTSSocialImpact
