We must keep children safe online. We agree with the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant @tweetinjules; big tech must PROACTIVELY detect and remove child sexual abuse material.

@ChildFundAU is grateful for the support of the @ausgov, in it’s $15M commitment towards the famine crisis for families in desperate need in drought-stricken Horn of Africa. 20M people, equivalent to 80% of Aus population, are on the verge of starvation. #ChildPoverty #famine

Have just visited the @nma to view the Connection exhibition. A wonderful reminder that culture is highly protective for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their communities. Go and see it! #culture #childrights #identity

[Margaret Sheehan @MMSheehan_]

So pleased to be part of this delegation meeting parliamentarians to raise attention on global famine and the dire impact on children #helpfightfamine

[Susanne Legena @susannelegena]

⁦@PlanAustralia⁩ & reps from 27 organisations formed an alliance to #HelpFightFamine & have taken the call to Canberra for urgent action. 50m people worldwide on the brink of catastrophic famine. We can’t accept mass hunger & starvation in the 21st Century. Can you?
