On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we recognise the work of our colleagues and partners in the legal and family violence sectors, working to end gender-based violence in Australia. un.org/en/observances… #NoExcuse

A welcome judgment by the High Court ruling that visa conditions imposed on YBFZ were unconstitutional and invalid. We commend @RefugeeLegal for their work on this important case. hrlc.org.au/reports-news-c…

It’s critical that today’s meeting of Federal and State-Territory Attorneys-General reaches agreement on appropriate allocations to support women and kids at risk, especially in family law proceedings. Read more in the link. ⁦@MarkDreyfusKCMP⁩ ⁦ linkedin.com/posts/peter-no…

We are disappointed that after eight months of consideration, the government has rejected three key recommendations for meaningful reform and has failed to provide a more comprehensive response or commitment to act on others. legalaid.vic.gov.au/governments-co…

Focus on youth crime may be influencing bail decisions for children, Victorian judge says theguardian.com/australia-news…

I agree. Evidence is clear that bringing children into the criminal justice system only serves to entrench offending; why enact reforms to bring more children into custody on remand when the real answer is intensive, wrap around services to support rehabilitation?

We do not support the state government’s plan to trial electronic monitoring of children on bail or its decision to not proceed with further bail reforms for children. legalaid.vic.gov.au/children-need-…

@VicLegalAid appreciated meeting with sector partners @GippslandLegal & independent reviewer of the National Legal Assistance Partnership Dr Warren Mundy, discussing the challenges of delivering legal assistance services in regional Vic @MarkDreyfusKCMP @CommunityLawVic #auslaw

This week the Government announced the establishment of an independent review panel to support the raising of the age of criminal responsibility. We are pleased to share that Andrew Jackomos, who was appointed to the VLA Board earlier this year, will be one of the panel members.
