Please help - I do not support my nura (Country) being named after John Bradfield, when my nura already has a 60,000 year old name. Help us change the NSW Govt's mind 🙏🏾 Didyarigura - thanks in Dharug dalang 🖤

The last QLD-based privately operated correctional facility has now transitioned to public operation.

This historic transition means that QLD is the first jurisdiction in Aus & one of the first globally to transition entirely away from privately operated correctional facilities.

"Everyone shines, given the right lighting". What are we doing as leaders to give the right lighting to our team members and colleagues? What a powerful thought @sherrillknezel

[Change the Record @Change_Record]

Tearing children away from their families does not help them learn from their mistakes, it just causes trauma and harm. Governments must #RaiseTheAge and invest in the solutions that actually work - strengthening families, providing housing, and wrap around services.

A challenge from the enduring leadership of Australia's #FirstPeoples: 'What is the system? Every time the Government changes, the system changes. Ours never will.' #ChangeFestNT21

How to start - with this idea. It's often not that simple, but it's the asking of the question that changes our way forward.

[Cormac Russell @CormacRussell]

An institutional radical asks ‘what is the community alternative to my service and how can I resource it?’ They precipitate action that’s led BY communities. Most reformers lack the courage this requires, they ask: ‘what can we do WITH communities to coproduce better services.

@pipsterb @ChangeFestAu My god that truly nails it. In many communities I've been in, it's real and desperate - particularly for young people. Rosie's bringing hope in her actions - go Rosie! Go #Changefestonthehill

Grab the opportunity to hear this!

[Sean Kelly @mrseankelly]

As a columnist, you try to be topical. Four Corners was three weeks ago. But in this case that's the point: every time the issue of sexism in Canberra is raised, it’s quickly rushed past, then forgotten (by men).

Many times I feel proud of being born on this country. And sometimes I just feel shame at our inhumanity.
I appeal to @PeterDutton_MP and @ScottMorrisonMP to use your power with wisdom and humility. They will already be tormented by this, give these poor kids a chance. #auspol

Dear friends, today marks another milestone for Nades, Priya, Kopika and Tharnicaa. Today it is 1000 days since this beautiful family was snatched from their home in Biloela in a dawn raid by Mr Dutton's Australian Border Force.

[Beck Ronkson @BeckRonkson]

such beautiful and poignant words @MoiraWere. You are a true gem - I was particularly struck by the notion of circularity and 'single-use' actions. I suspect I am only beginning to wake up to my role in the things I seek to change. Circularity = skin in the game.
