Investing more in education and early interventions is key to #PublicHealth (and sustainable economics). We need an Australian leader who will address the #PublicHealthCrisis that our law-based approach to family break-ups has contributed to.@ScottMorrisonMP@AlboMP@_PHAA_
Which PM will stand up for our children? Will @ScottMorrisonMP or @AlboMP recognise the public health crisis that our approach to family separation has created? Will @AdamBandt put children and families at the centre of future policies? #ForKidsSake@australian@Riley7News
@midgetmummsie @JaneEjackson@Aracy@twowishes2040 We agree. Kids are being failed in a monumental way and, yes, we are failing to give them strategies they need to deal with family breakdown. We think that we'll look back in horror, one day, at how we treated and talked about vulnerable, separating families.
46 years after Australia, "no-fault divorce" finally reaches England & Wales. Sadly, Australia proves that until we treat break-ups as an urgent health issue, not a legal one, children will continue to be deeply, avoidably harmed. @aracy@twowishes2040 https://t.co/egVEGsbdFd
The lives of thousands of our children are in the hands of family court judges. All family law professionals should be subject to the highest standards and highest levels of scrutiny and accountability. Not the lowest. @SenatorCash@markdreyfusQCMP@NickMcKim@australian@abcnews
20+ charities and organisations and others have come together to look at how we might improve outcomes for children experiencing parental divorce / separation.
We invite you now to get involved in this important initiative.

Children will continue to die and suffer great trauma until we realise that separating families don't belong in family courts. For Kids Sake has proposed a simple, safer, comprehensive, alternative approach https://t.co/UBkc2tn7LZ @ScottMorrisonMP@AlboMP@James_Jeffrey@NicBerko

Another Australian family tragedy. We don't know the story here yet but, in Australia, one child is killed by a parent or close family member every fortnight. Isn't it time to find out why? @ARACYAustralia@familiesaust@GuardianAus#senatorruston https://t.co/3wEpb0qnhV
The Two Wishes Foundation today launches its international campaign to transform how we all view, and deal with, family separation and divorce - so that children, in future, will no longer be harmed by the processes we accept today. #ChildrensRights#ForKidsSake
With a family law system increasingly unfit-for-purpose, and partisan politics preventing its reform, many more children and other family members will suffer major health consequences, or even die early, as a result. Like COVID itself, this is a major public health crisis.
Imagine a future where every family with a child under 4 could access “all the advice and support they need”, from pregnancy to school from friendly, well-trained staff with expertise in maternal & child health, early learning & parenting. @JayWeatherill https://t.co/OeIgnsHqIV
Today's @westaustralian: @forkidssakeltd makes "a lot of sense" ... "Tragically, Aaron's weren't the first kids to be murdered after a family separation that involved family court proceedings and, unless ... we look all factors that contribute to them, they won't be the last."
.@MicheleONeilAU says a key plank of the ACTU's national jobs plan being revealed today is universal free childcare.
"It's also really important for workers, particularly women workers, who still do the primary caring for our children," she says.
