Over the weekend, WA Labor passed a motion to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14!

ALSWA welcomes this step towards ending the incarceration of children and making the justice system a fairer one for our children.

@westaustralian This article is gross! It clearly implies they are poor and dirty and not caring for their sick child well enough. Vomit.

As you watch the horrors happening in Afghanistan right now under the Taliban remember there are still Afghan refugees in detention centres in Australia right now who have been imprisoned for 8 years and counting.

(thread) My legal views on Christian Porter: 1) it is normal that the same conduct of a person may be subject to different legal processes for different purposes - criminal, civil, employment, disciplinary, human rights, ombudsperson, coronial etc

The passage of the Government’s flawed merger bill by the barest of margins is a disappointing outcome for Australian children and families and tasks Australian judges with an impossible task. https://t.co/dw1y7oOJB3 @WLSAnetwork

This is huge! 30 countries made #raisetheage an issue for Australia in #UPR37 #AusUPR, showing we are so far behind the rest of the world.

Most kids in prison under 14 are First Nations kids, and govt is failing them. But no commitment from Aus Govt to #Raisetheage to 14 years.

Kids belong in community not custody. Governments need to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility https://t.co/0TuWTkGX4D @NATSILS_ @Change_Record

@thelawcouncil WA seems to be missing from the list

[Eloise Langoulant @billa_bum]

@LiamElphick_ Another group of men talking about how to make more rules about women's bodies. About what makes a woman 'normal'. About how to restrict the participation of women of colour in sport. Gross.

[Eloise Langoulant @billa_bum]

@LiamElphick_ Ok it is sort of law related, but I'm currently reading Evil Angels which is about Lindy Chamberlain. Super interesting!! Recommend.

Since yesterday two people attempted suicide on Manus. Yesterday a refugee hanged himself but his friend saved him and today another refugee cut his wrists and was transferred to the hospital. The number of self harm is increasing by day on Manus.#Manus

Powerful piece from @DanielHRLC & @tash_nf on how PM Morrison & Dutton’s policies are harming kids. After 5 long cruel years, enough is enough. All kids, their families & all adults must be brought to safety & freedom in Australia. https://t.co/w91KBIClYP #kidsOffNauru

@ScottMorrisonMP It isn't about loathing (self or otherwise), @scottmorrisonmp it's about love - love for our fellow Australians, the First Peoples of our nation! #changethedate
