Judge issues warning over detention of children in adult prison abc.net.au/news/2022-10-2…

Shame Western Australia had a budget surplus of $5.7 billion but the Mark McGowan gov continues to refuse to install air-conditioning at Roebourne prison where 90% of the prison population are Indigenous Last summer, temps reached over 50° in Roebourne abc.net.au/news/2022-10-3…

The Aboriginal Legal Service of WA Ltd. lawyer Alice Barter said her clients had told her they felt like their bodies were cooking "I've been told by men at Roebourne prison that they feel their brains are boiling...That they're not sleeping at night and finding it difficult to function during the day."

Feeling so sad for the whole family and community. Keeping our children safe is the bare minimum of our responsibilities and so often we fail even to do that.
