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?”

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
