As a society, we have choices. For example, we can choose to continue ignoring the fact that domestic violence spikes massively during major sports events which are closely connected with sports betting, or we can stop ignoring it and do something with that information.

Insurance premiums are skyrocketing. It doesn't just affect those in climate change fuelled disaster-prone areas. Ultimately, everyone ends up footing the bill, including higher taxes for clean ups. A 'carbon pollution tax' or the like is nothing compared to the alternatives.

This is completely predicable, not a shock. We've known for DECADES that incarcerating rather than healing kids leads to MORE crime and victimisation. Labor and the LNP want this.

Lyndy Atkinson, a member of Voices for Victims, says 'none of us want 14-year-old's breaking into our houses... They need to be taken straight away, assessed with psychologists and educated. And that is not what is happening — they go to a watch house.'
