‘Everyone has been a 10 year old, everyone knows a 10 year old. We all know children belong in playgrounds and not prison cells. We need to show people what is possible and how we can do things differently,’ says Cheryl Axleby @Change_Record #NJS21
‘To me it’s heartbreaking.. these changes are directly against the aspirations of the Closing the Gap agreement. These backflips happen because Govt’s refuse to invest in long term alternatives to detention’ - @Change_Record #NJS21
‘It’s been five years since the #NTRoyalCommission but this year the NT Govt have backtracked on many of the recommendations they said they would embrace. Already we’ve seen a spike in the number of our children pushed into prison,’ says Cheryl Axleby @Change_Record #NJS21
‘The vast majority of Australians have no idea that a child as young as 10 can be locked up in prison and when they find out, they want change’ - Cheryl Axleby from @Change_Record speaks about #RaiseTheAge at #NJS21
‘Children don’t belong on the streets, they need to be home in a loving, caring relationship with loving parents. Aboriginal people are living under duress, things need to change, we need to talk to people at grassroots level and all come together to make a change’ #NJS21
‘When we asked kids what they wanted, they wanted somewhere safe to go, somewhere fun and somewhere where they felt like they belonged’ - powerful words at #NJS21
