In The West Australian tomorrow, the must-read investigation by Annabel Hennessy that left our WA Attorney-General asking if an “elderly white woman with dementia in a wealthy suburb would have found herself in prison in such circumstances?”

The criminal legal system breaks kids down instead of building them up. There’s a better way. We need to #RaiseTheAge so that Australian governments can no longer lock up kids aged 10-13. Important shahleena musk Sophie Trevitt article. google.com.au/amp/s/amp.smh.…

[Thread] ABC's Beth Gibson has reported the Department of Justice has confirmed young people at the Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre have been locked in their bedrooms alone since Sunday. Locking children in solitary confinement cannot be a solution to #COVID19Vic.

As Training Centre Visitor, my first formal Inspection Report hits the streets. Rich in young people’s voice, it’s an unprecedented glimpse of what life is really like in South Australia’s only youth detention centre. gcyp.sa.gov.au/wp-content/upl…

NSW AG Mark Speakman says no major updates on raising the age of criminal responsibility from CAG meeting. Says more work to be done to understand alternatives to imprisonment. Report will be handed to the council next year.

The 10, 12 & 13 year olds behind bars can not wait until ‘next year’ for politicians to get their act together. There have been decades of reports, inquiries and Royal Commissions which recommend alternatives to imprisonment. We don’t lack solutions, they lack political will.

Too bad for all the 10 to 13 year olds who will be locked up in detention over the next year/s. The Council of Attorneys General have again FAILED to #raisetheage. A failure of principle, a failure to protect kids, a failure to acknowledge the neuroscience Change the Record
