We are rightly appalled by any war crime in Afghanistan killing civilians but our Govt supports allied nuclear weapon targeting of millions of civilians in cities around the world. Time to respect IHL. We must tell them - Not in Our Name ! @ican_australia @nuclearban @RedCrossAU

Saddened by this news as I found Simon Crean to be a committed reformer and fighter for just causes including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander human rights during my time as a Minister. Simon Crean dies aged 74 smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Jailing is failing all Queenslanders. It's time for a smarter approach, investing in evidence-based solutions that truly break the cycle - not pumping billions more into a broken system. Join us! justicereforminitiative.org.au/petition #qldpol
10 News Queensland@10NewsQLD

A damning new report has labelled Queensland the jail capital of the country as millions are being spent on building more youth detention centres, but advocates say it could be counterintuitive | #QldPol @brendanjsmith10

Panel discussion on driving social change at the #NTCOSSConference. @RobertTickner making the point that the NT will never be able to fund the investment needed alone. He urges the NT to create a sustained bipartisan campaign to get our fair share from the Commonwealth. We agree.

A cracker of a night last night in Alice Springs with three highly respected Aboriginal women speaking to us all about their love for their grandkids, their hopes for their future and pulling no punches. @JailingsFailing

Great to be back in wonderful Alice Springs working with Aboriginal community organisations doing such important work. justicereforminitiative.org.au/media_release_… @JailingsFailing
Justice Reform Initiative@JailingsFailing

Investing in people, not prisons, is a smarter approach to justice. Across the NT and all across Australia, there are programs making a real difference in breaking the cycle. Our report today highlights the need to back this critical work with the investment it truly deserves.

"The unquestionable truth is that nuclear weapons are trained on the cities of the world, they are trained on civilians. Through the extended nuclear deterrence doctrine, they are poised to be unleashed on the people of the world." ICAN Ambassador @RobertTickner @evattaus

Spears taken by Captain Cook in 1770 to be returned to Sydney's La Perouse Aboriginal community - ABC News. Such wonderful news to wake up to for the Aboriginal community and for Australia. Congratulations to those who fought so hard for this just outcome. abc.net.au/news/2023-03-0…

@mikeaubrey2 @JailingsFailing An welcome aspect of the work of the Justice Reform Initiative is a capacity to find people of goodwill from very different perspectives who can find common ground on these issues. Good public policy is abandoned when political parties engage in phoney law and order auctions.

A measured, compassionate, constructive and evidence based response to a terrible tragedy which should be read by all Queenslanders @JailingsFailing @couriermail @abcnews @GuardianAus
Justice Reform Initiative@JailingsFailing

’Tough on crime’ approaches might be politically popular in the short term but will not deliver results. Queensland needs a smart approach to genuinely address crime and improve community safety. More in our media release 👇

Law & Order barely mentioned in Vic election. Crime is declining but we still have a prison problem. Why? Is there political will to tackle it? @JailingsFailing There’s a real shock, horror to crime – and politicians ignore it theage.com.au/politics/victo…

Real progress in evidence based criminal justice policy from Tasmanian Liberal Government.”It’s time”the big ALP led State Govts got behind the movement for reform. Invest people and in breaking the cycle not more prisons costing the public billions in taxes @JailingsFailing
Justice Reform Initiative@JailingsFailing

Tasmania's blueprint for youth justice represents an opportunity to fix a broken system, recognising the harm of incarceration for children and acknowledging that a different approach is needed. We commend the Tasmanian government for its leadership. loom.ly/MwL0D0U
