The @AusFedPolice has warned Australia faces a "tsunami of youth crime" as children as young as 11 are radicalised online in a matter of days.

If you or someone you know has been affected, I encourage you to make a submission to the PJCIS inquiry and share your experiences to help inform our work.

Thanks to The @GuardianAus for covering yesterday's public PJCIS hearing.

@SenRaffCiccone @AusFedPolice @Tony_Burke @GuardianAus No good playing up a crisis when it takes about a year to see a paediatrician let alone a bulk billing child psychologist.
youth MH does it even exist? Gp waiting times are excessive. Schools expel or suspend at the drop of a hat what’s your plan Raff?

@PatMcGorry @KellieTranter @Mark_Butler_MP If Mark Butler was concerned he would speak up , make some proposals , or at the very least draw attention to problems Silent “ understanding ” from Mr Cuts does nothing

[The welcome wisdom and informed perspective of @PatMcGorry]

“…In general terms this is an extremely widespread problem in Australian society, whether it is in regional Australia or in the metro areas.

Large numbers of people with serious mental illnesses are just languishing in the community. Thirty years ago we closed all the mental hospitals. We failed to build a fit for purpose system to replace them and so only about half of its people – even at the most extreme and severe forms of mental illness – can access care at all and the quality of that care is really much below par and that was exposed in the Victorian Royal Commission.

Mark Butler, at the time of the Bondi Junction tragedy, described it as a stain on our nation, and it certainly is. IT’S A MASSIVE FAIL OF PUBLIC POLICY which is putting the community at risk…

It is well known that there’s an inverse relationship between the number of prison beds in a society and the number of psychiatric beds and that has been reversed over the last few decades so that we’ve got a fraction of the psychiatric beds and a very substantial increase in the number of prison beds. The result is large numbers of mentally ill people, especially men, are ending up in prison….

It’s like crossing the Berlin Wall in the 1960s trying to get people into psychiatric care in the regions but I think that’s also true of the metropolitan areas, especially the outer metro areas.

WE’VE GOT A MASSIVE PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM HERE AND IT HASN’T REALLY BEEN SERIOUSLY TACKLED, ESPECIALLY AT THE STATE GOVERNMENT LEVEL.

The State governments are responsible for the seriously mentally ill. They always have been – and they were responsible for the old mental hospitals – and they have abandoned these patients now and the community, and the patients themselves, are much less safe as a result.

[question re: community mental health services going to seriously mentally ill people whether they are accepting of treatment or not]

“It happened briefly in the late 1990s when these teams were first set up, these mobile assessment and community treatment teams, but they are a shadow of their former selves. They’re not properly resourced. The work practices and the mindset has changed dramatically and they’re several steps back behind the police. The police are not really trained or equipped for this role of engaging and reaching out to seriously mentally ill people. They may have to be involved in some cases but it is a health first response, which is what the Victorian Royal Commission recommended…”

@boganintel @ALeighMP Dunno Labor can recover No dissent discernible on the most grave matters Any gathered wisdom discarded The Zionist led fascist society espoused by Labor is repugnant to most

[Joel Jenkins @boganintel]

@ALeighMP Stop supporting war, and enabling the worst nations on the planet, start some nation building programs, tax the foreign owned multinationals, or have a national discussion about sovereign ideas...

Oh, we aren't allowed to do any of that in AUKUS land anymore are we?

[Barbara Pocock @BarbaraPocock]

I hate to think what post-war leaders who built Australia’s public housing would've made of this hearing. They met a housing crisis in a much poorer country, in the aftermath of war, amidst big material shortages. Today Labor has many more resources but is failing on every front.

[melissa @ArtistAffame]

Andrew it’s time to be really honest as a Labor mp. One thing that makes social cohesion bad is inequality as we see things like poverty increase it begins to tear at the very fabric that makes for a healthy happy life

[HELEN @BlackDouglas]

Rage is a normal human reaction, and at the moment, the triggers for it confront us every day.

If you don'l like it, don't sign up for it.

But as a politician, if you're not listening to it, you're making a noose for your own neck.

And please, do not try to dictate our moods and emotional responses. It's the height of arrogance!

Radicalisation that once took months or years is now happening in weeks or even days, with online networks and AI being used to groom vulnerable young Australians.

I joined @Kieran_Gilbert on @News24Aust after the PJCIS held its first public hearing into the nature and drivers of radicalisation in Australia.

Go deeper , you may find find increasing inequality, uncertainty and hopelessness fuel restlessness far more than anything on social media See @PikettyWIL

Social media has become antisocial media. Algorithms reward outrage, turning political opponents into enemies.

In my Joan Kirner Oration, I argue for changing the feeds that inflame us and rebuilding the communities that connect us.

An insightful piece by @RonniSalt.

The culture described- the common behaviours, symbols, language, values etc - is in the context of mental health care being critically underfunded in this country (particularly in the regions) and trending towards total collapse and yet the warnings have been consistently ignored.

Leadership is lacking and hypocrisy is ever present.

No person, adult or child, should be subjected to or threatened with violence, anywhere in the world.

No people should be subjected to or threatened with violence, anywhere in the world.

No country should be subjected to or threatened with violence, anywhere in the world.

There should be universal and consistent condemnation of violence in all its forms.
