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

Eden Gillespie@edengillespie

The Qld government has suspended the state's human rights act for the second time this year so that it can imprison children in watchhouses “even if it would not be compatible with human rights”. @GuardianAus

Feeling💔looking at the images of school bags placed on the steps of the WA Parliament House, representing stories of children failed by the education system, despite having heard so many of these stories for so long, and knowing there are so many more untold. #InclusiveEducation

The @DRC_AU must examine the role of LAW in and of itself, as an enabler of #violence against #pwds. It is not OK that this has not yet been done. The doctrine of ‘parens patriea’ must be interrogated. It is an outdated concept that allows lawful violence against pwds. #CRPD

Health Justice Australia unequivocally supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Find out more here about the Yarrabah Affirmation, which calls for a referendum on a Voice to Parliament as the first tangible action to implement in the next term of government.

Last weekend, we came together under the Knowledge Tree at Yarrabah alongside some of our fellow First Nations leaders to reaffirm our commitment to the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Together, we called for its implementation and a referendum in the next parliamentary term.

Dr Sandro Demaio@SandroDemaio·22 Mar

I’ve been criticised for speaking about climate change. People saying I should “stay in my lane” as a doctor. Well let me say this — climate change is the greatest health threat facing our planet, and our species. Period. And as a doctor, I will continue to say so.
