Sadly, almost two months ago, #Australia rejected calls from 30 countries to #RaiseTheAge before @UN_HRC at #AusUPR.
Without such reforms and adopting a #childrights approach these legal actions will continue. Governments need to be held accountable.
#COVID19 controls highlight need for a National Human Rights Act.
Disappointingly, #Australia keeps rejecting calls from UN & foreign govs for such an Act. Most recently just last month @UN_HRC for #AusUPR review.

Mary Billing is spot on in the @smh letters page:
"How can we in all conscience, sanction 10-year-olds being held in criminal detention? Passing the buck to the states is typical and another example of a lack of leadership."
#RaiseTheAge #AusUPR #HRC47 @Change_Record
The majority of Australians want to #RaiseTheAge and keep very young children safe from prisons -- it's politicians who are dragging their feet, and letting our children and communities down.

The evidence is in to #raisetheage now.
Meanwhile domestic & international calls have been there for years, eg UN #childrights committee recommended #Australia to do so in 2005, 2012 & 2019.
We can't just rely on process. Change is long overdue.

Last night #Australia missed an opportunity & rejected calls to #raisetheage of criminal responsibility.
From me in @SBSNews today:
"Frankly, it was shameful"

“It is appalling for Australia that five years since the last UPR, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people remain the most incarcerated people on earth, with a horrifying number of our young people trapped in the quicksand of the so-called justice system."

The #AusUPR has been a missed opportunity for the Australian Government to reimagine the justice system and commit to ending the over-incarceration of our people, first and foremost by raising the age of criminal responsibility to at least 14.
Australia’s failure to accept 30+ recommendations to #raisetheage of criminal responsibility is “a huge missed opportunity + really highlights how out of step Australia is compared to international standards” - @HughdeKretser

Our National Director, @Sam_Klintworth addressing the UN Human Rights Council. We won't stop fighting for an Australia where these human rights are respected. The government must immediately review its position. #AusUPR
MUST WATCH 2/2: The response hearing is part of the Universal Periodic Review, which occurs every five years and puts Australia’s human rights record under the spotlight.

"Australia's record on youth justice and excessive incarceration of young Indigenous Australians is a shame for our country."
Australia's move to #raisetheage is long overdue.
#AusUPR #childrights
