I assume Louise Milligan’s speech reflected the views in her book Witness. It challenges aspects of the current system and suggests possible changes. Lawyers shld at least read it and seriously consider the points she makes.

@Sue_Webeck Nice suit!

[Elena Rosenman @erosenman]

@DrDemography Appreciate hearing this perspective. Thanks for sharing.

[Women's Legal ACT @WomensLegalACT]

Are you a proud feminist? Do you want to use your governance and leadership expertise to support delivery of services to vulnerable women in the ACT?

The Women’s Legal Centre is currently recruiting two Board positions (voluntary).

15 months after being passed by Parliament, the Termination of Pregnancy Act 2021 becomes law in South Australia today.

The laws are a massive win for reproductive rights and will support more equitable access to abortion care across the state.

There’s massive discrepancy btwn incidence of sexual harassment + assault & formal complaint. Why? Because the systems are still the same despite rhetoric & it’s victim/survivors who suffer the personal costs & risks. Thanks @miriamlwebber for highlighting https://t.co/amFHZa7qba

[Women's Legal ACT @WomensLegalACT]

This is happening in the legal sector. At least three women have been harmed while they should be flourishing. Clients have been denied their expertise.

Being free of racial discrimination is too low a bar. We need to be culturally safe and accountable to our staff and clients.

[Hayley Foster (she/her) @HayleyFoster_]

This gives us hope ❤️

I can’t overstate how big a difference this is going to make.

[Kristine Ziwica @KZiwica]

Let me tell you a story about the Morrison government’s cynical attempt to bully and silence charities that work with — and advocate on behalf of - the most vulnerable in our society. Me today ⁦@SatPaper⁩ https://t.co/fKCVO2N7K0

@BlairWilliams26 I also wondered why I hadn’t seen anything

[Annelies Kleinherenbrink @kleinherenbrink]

During lectures, I switched from asking "does anyone have a question before I move on?" to telling "someone ask me a question before I move on" and it is so simple but SUCH a game changer. #AcademicTwitter

[ACTCOSS @ACTCOSS]

Community sector organisations are already doing it tough. Really sad to hear that @Lifeline_ACT bookfair and @rotaract farmers market have been disrupted by people who do not share the values of the Canberra community - caring about others through vaccines and covid safety.

[Shane Rattenbury @ShaneRattenbury]

Language is important.

In response to @TamePunk’s advocacy, the ACT will change the name of the offence of ‘sexual relationship with child or young person under special care’ to ‘persistent sexual abuse of child or young person under special care’.
