The message for the Queensland and WA Governments and others is that there are evidence based alternatives for kids in detention which will turn lives around at much less cost than the $700,000 per child per annum in detention. Cross party support is warranted. Justice Reform Initiative
This is true political leadership and a breathe of fresh air in Aus public life. Next steps need to include C’wealth and State investment to break the cycle and turn lives around. Beats spending 5 billion a year on costs of Aust prisons Justice Reform Initiative @chanseypaechMLA
Real progress in evidence based criminal justice policy from Tasmanian Liberal Government.”It’s time”the big ALP led State Govts got behind the movement for reform. Invest people and in breaking the cycle not more prisons costing the public billions in taxes Justice Reform Initiative
Law & Order barely mentioned in Vic election. Crime is declining but we still have a prison problem. Why? Is there political will to tackle it? Justice Reform Initiative There’s a real shock, horror to crime – and politicians ignore it theage.com.au/politics/victo…

Great to be back in wonderful Alice Springs working with Aboriginal community organisations doing such important work. justicereforminitiative.org.au/media_release_… Justice Reform Initiative
Panel discussion on driving social change at the #NTCOSSConference. Robert Tickner making the point that the NT will never be able to fund the investment needed alone. He urges the NT to create a sustained bipartisan campaign to get our fair share from the Commonwealth. We agree.
So important to remember what drives us towards #socialchange and how we sustain ourselves as well as the work. Great discussion with Cassandra Goldie🌈 Tangentyere Council Robert Tickner NTCOSS Health Justice Australia ACOSS Justice Reform Initiative
