[Archbishop of Sydney @archbishopsyd]

It was a privilege to be on @QandA last month. I was kindly welcomed by Stan and the crew. That anyone, let alone a journalist of his calibre and experience, should be racially abused in his own country is disgraceful and desperately sad. Thanks for what you do, Stan Grant.

[J. Daniel Sims @jdanielsims]

This @baliprocessrso policy brief is easily the most comprehensive report on the global scam-slavery phenomenon to-date. Chock full of strong analysis, excellent recommendations, and calls to action.

Essential reading for anyone hoping to come up to speed on the issue.

[Amy Smith @amy_lou_smith]

@RoseBJackson Very special. Congratulations!

[J. Daniel Sims @jdanielsims]

An inspiring survivor story emerging from Cambodia's scam-slavery industry in @guardian this week. Great quotes from @IJM @SteveBaird_IJM as well!

Accountability in #Cambodia is desperately needed to prevent the exploitation of people like Rahim.

@jdanielsims Heavy dose of Australian sarcasm.

In 30 years of campaigning this is the best chance I have seen for reform Gambling reform: Unions NSW joins Perrottet’s cashless pokies push https://t.co/4qxswH9rQ9

[eSafety Commissioner @eSafetyOffice]

We asked major technology companies how they are protecting children from sexual exploitation. Their answers, contained in a landmark eSafety report released this month, are nothing short of alarming. Read @tweetinjules's take on the results in @techpolicypress

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is 'growlery' (1853, from Charles Dickens): a place you retreat to for the purposes of growling, muttering, and letting off steam.

[Amy Remeikis @AmyRemeikis]

Just thinking about a system which breaks people down in the pursuit of ‘justice’. Love to all those who’ve been hurt or are hurting 💛

[Jess Rudd @Jess_Rudd]

There is nothing remarkable about the fact that someone who has already endured so much can endure no more. That is a daily occurrence. What is remarkable is how much a system that calls itself Justice requires of them. That’s newsworthy.

[Amy Smith @amy_lou_smith]

Brittany bravely ran the gauntlet for so many women and experienced the system failures as so many before her have. I hope she puts herself first. She has nothing to prove. There is no justice to be found in a system where victims end up on trial and constantly re-traumatised 💔

[Samantha Maiden @samanthamaiden]

BREAKING New medical evidence detailing the impact of a second trial on Brittany Higgins’ mental health is expected to result in the charge being dropped and the trial not proceeding https://t.co/UAfJJR98Vh

[Amy Smith @amy_lou_smith]

@bairdjulia Time to rethink the system. Brittany bravely ran the gauntlet for so many women and experienced the failures of it as so many before her have. I hope she puts herself first. There is no justice to be found in a system where victims end up on trial and constantly re-traumatized.

[Amy Smith @amy_lou_smith]

In March @SteveBaird_IJM & I met with survivors who @ijmaus assisted to escape from mass scam call centre compounds in Cambodia. Thanks @AnnaPattySMH for shining a light on #forcedlabour slavery behind scam calls. Australia must do more https://t.co/Oamw169w2y

[Mark Dreyfus @MarkDreyfusKCMP]

Online child sexual abuse and exploitation is becoming increasingly prevalent, organised and extreme. The Children in the Pictures documentary shows how authorities are tackling this evolving crime. Our Government is committed to ending child abuse in all its forms.

[Amy Smith @amy_lou_smith]

This young unmarried woman chortled 😂

[Catherine Cusack @katieqs]

The Liberals Party continues to struggle with “disturbing trends” like young unmarried women having their own thoughts and the “dubious fortune” of University education.
