@profjmcadam @KaldorCentre @ConversationEDU These new laws demonstrate the potential connection between public policy and mental harm. Laws that deepen mental distress and despair for individuals who are directly impacted, plus their families. Compounding trauma of entrapment, fear, burdensomeness, unendurable uncertainty.

'In a radical departure ... the government is seeking to further criminalise the migration system. The consequences could be disastrous.' Read @UNSWLaw's @profjmcadam @DanGhez @madelinegleeson & @drtristanharley on the bill now headed for a Senate inquiry: https://t.co/f99FkUEokV

[Jane McAdam @profjmcadam]

It's been a while since we had to drop everything to respond to a draconian government bill ... but today was one of those days https://t.co/HF0dVYXATe

We are excited to share our new Climate Mobility Hub @KaldorCentre. It's a 101 on all aspects of climate mobility - from displacement, evacuations, migration and planned relocations, through to enabling people to stay at home. Explore it here! https://t.co/rgcR8GSisr

[UNSW Kaldor Centre @KaldorCentre]

All #climatemobility responses should:
✅be non-discriminatory and
✅respect the human dignity and fundamental rights of individuals and communities.
This includes:
✅those who move
✅communities to which they move, and
✅those who stay at home.

[Jane McAdam @profjmcadam]

We’ve just released new guidance on climate mobility. The starting point must be to assist people to remain in their homes for as long as they wish to do so, but we also need dignified, rights-based responses to enhance protection & migration opportunities.

[UNSW Kaldor Centre @KaldorCentre]

The Kaldor Centre and @humanrightsHRLC appeared as friends of the court in this landmark case. Read our joint statement about the High Court's decision today – 'an important and long-awaited victory for human rights'. https://t.co/z3xZwSQ1sb

A statement from Indigenous Australians who supported the Voice referendum. https://t.co/UlW2kvd9oa

[Thomas Feng @ThomasFengAU]

History is calling. The status quo hasn't been working. When we listen to Aboriginal people, there are better outcomes for everyone.

I'm voting yes to the Voice. I've convinced my parents to vote Yes. I'm part of this group of 100 Chinese-Australians saying Yes. #Yes23 @yes23au

[UNSW Law & Justice @UNSWLaw]

The Voice is a practical improvement that aims to end poor policies and wasted public money, and help close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, says A/Prof. Sean Brennan (@_sbrennan). Authorised by Alison Avery for UNSW, Sydney https://t.co/b6rAWcjsnR

[ulurustatement @ulurustatement]

A message from Professor Megan Davis, Co-Chair of the Uluru Dialogues and Chief Architect of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, where this all began. ❤️💛🖤

#voteyes #ulurustatement #voicereferendum

[A/Prof Ben Smith @bensmithphd.bsky.social @cancer_K2A]

In the past 20 years cancer death rates have ⬇️ for non-Indigenous, but ⬆️ for Indigenous Australians.
That’s not a fair go for all.
I’ll be voting #YesToVoice to give Australia’s First Peoples more of a voice on key issues impacting their community, such as healthcare delivery

[The National Gathering @yes23au]

"While doorknocking last week, I met a woman leaning towards voting no due to confusing media coverage. We chatted; she was reassured but undecided.

Yesterday, she approached me at the polls, proudly saying she voted Yes.

Every conversation counts." @tangstake

#Yes23

[Jane McAdam @profjmcadam]

I support The Voice because I believe communities have the right to be heard on decisions, policies and programs that affect them - especially people who have suffered systemic and intergenerational disadvantage, dislocation and discrimination.
