For a gov to repeatedly breach its own Human Rights Act to create new laws so it can lock up more children, something is seriously wrong in this country. @MarkDreyfusKCMP @AlboMP @AmandaRishworth

@Paige_Burton In my opinion, if it’s above Grade 3 and/or more than 3 hours: it’s a hike. If it’s less than 3 hours walking and on a Grade 1-3 trail, then safely a bushwalk.

Question for the group: at what point does a “bush walk” become a “hike”?

@missthorpe @ComeFromAwayUK @GrandTheatreLS1 @SimonDaley Just saw this in Perth- soooo gooood!

We’re going to the rock for my birthday! 🎉 @ComeFromAwayUK @GrandTheatreLS1 @SimonDaley

@laurie_ms Oh cute! I feel like a cute little crosstich on a bib would also be fabulous! The bibs get lots of wear over many sizes! (Self-directed is what it’s all about 😂)

@BubblesAus Pictures is an interesting idea… playing around with the idea of some Australian animal sketches or cross-stitch or similar? (I can do a very excellent reef knot 🪢 but beyond that I’m all about self-directed learning from the book for small people 😂)

Help me craft twitter- what can I make for my due-in-September nibling? I made an appliquéd woollen blanket for their big brother but I don’t think it ever actually got used…

@BubblesAus @Girlguiding We have benefitted from a change in the Rainbows age! Meant she was able to start a year earlier than she could when she was born!

So excited to See her start on this adventure 🥰🥰🥰 It’s what I’ve been waiting for after putting her on a waiting list at 22 hours old 🥰🥰 @Girlguiding

If you focus on crime, you’re going to end with police as the key actors; if you focus on safety and wellbeing, you're going to end up with communities as key actors.

As we move into #CSW67 on gender tech and innovation, here is a set of questions for all of us civil society & feminist movements: 1. Who is platformed in the dialogues we host? 2. Who is missing in the room & what have we done to shift power in these spaces? (1/n)

"🇦🇺 continues to lag other developed countries in terms of women's labour force participation, with policy settings around paid parental leave & child care undermining progress." It's time to abolish the activity test & increase paid parental leave! static1.squarespace.com/static/61e32e6…

We're ready 🙌 🌟 Read our powerful response to the zero draft, shared with decision makers so that #SheSurfsFreedom Link in comments Follow us in the countdown to #CSW67 led by @unwomen. World are you ready?! 🌎

It costs half a million dollars a year to keep a child in prison. 94% of them will go back to prison before they turn 18 Divert that to prevention & let’s see what happens. You would only need a 6% success rate and $500k per child to achieve it.

Thanks to @joe_hinchliffe & @edengillespie for interviewing criminologists & lawyers for this key piece. Great @ANU_Law Criminal Law got a mention. 'Recipe for disaster’: Queensland bail law that overrides children’s human rights won’t work, experts say bit.ly/3KO0He3

@laurie_ms My favourite!

Satisfaction is resisting shoving into two over-crowded buses and waiting two more minutes for an extra-long bus with aircon and seats for all 😇

A new low: QLD overrides Human Rights Act so it can lock up more disadvantaged children. Against the evidence which shows that locking up children does not keep the community safer. ⁦@LindaBurneyMP⁩ ⁦@MarkDreyfusKCMP⁩ ⁦@AusHumanRights⁩ theguardian.com/australia-news…

"The 'Law and Order Auction', where politicians from both sides outbid each other to portray themselves as “tougher on youth crime”, is actually making the community less safe." Wise words from our Queensland patron Prof Emeritus Ross Homel, AO. #qldpol loom.ly/PK1uvdY

This is deeply embarrassing for #Australia The UN team’s visit was suspended last year but now it has been terminated due to a lack of cooperation from Australian authorities. Not good enough @MarkDreyfusKCMP @AlboMP #OPCAT ⬇️
