[Debbie Kilroy - Lawyer #FreeHer @DebKilroy]

It does not matter how many times you say adult time adult crime.

We are all talking about children. Children, children yes children not adults.

This language used that children are adults is used as a political strategy to pretend that “crime” will be reduced and this will bring us community safety.

Not true

Today our children’s humanity will be diminished.

A crackdown on youth crime is the refuge of the phoney politician. Cracking down on youth crime is usually not based in fact, and even if it was, the answer is absolutely NOT “adult crime, adult time.” All that achieves is more adult criminals.
Seriously dangerous rhetoric. 😡

Cherbourg elders continue to stand up and shed light on their stories and the impacts of living under mission rules despite great uncertainty with the truth-telling process in QLD.

The Queensland government should not be afraid to let the truth be told. The path towards reconciliation & closing the gap for First Nations peoples must be self-determined & built on a solid foundation of truth.

At today’s National Cabinet, we agreed to a $4.7 billion action package to support frontline specialist and legal services, identify high-risk perpetrators, and prevent violence.

@SNAICC The latest Closing the Gap figures - particularly the worsening of incarceration rates for adults and children - underscore the urgent need for policymakers to listen to communities and back community-led, evidence-based solutions. These figures must be reversed.

[Justice Reform Initiative @JailingsFailing]

In the words of Catherine Liddle, CEO of @SNAICC: "We know what works. The evidence is there that involving us as partners in decisions about our lives and our children makes the difference." 1/2

"Cleveland and many of the hundreds of young people who have been through detention in recent years were not treated fairly, justly, or kept safe. They weren't rehabilitated, like they were meant to." Jailing is failing. 👇https://t.co/bT4NJjQQSb
