"The Commonwealth, State and Territory governments should raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 14 years of age, without exception." #RaiseTheAge That's what Attorneys-General were told, two years ago, by their own experts. Time for action. ag.gov.au/sites/default/…

The premier said he was waiting to reach a national consensus on lifting the age of criminal responsibility. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

"Nerita Waight... said First Nations people had complained to the legal service about mistreatment and abuse... [including] solitary confinement, strip searching and the use of physical restraints." #OPCAT #SpringSt theage.com.au/national/victo…

"Independent oversight of places of detention in Victoria is urgently needed to protect against torture, mistreatment, abuse and systemic failings and bring Victoria in line with OPCAT obligations."

"Independent oversight of places of detention in Victoria is urgently needed to protect against torture, mistreatment, abuse and systemic failings and bring Victoria in line with OPCAT obligations." See letter: youthlaw.asn.au/wp-content/upl…

The current police complaints system does not work. Victoria urgently needs a #PoliceOmbudsmanNow to independently investigate all complaints about police misconduct and systemic failings #vicpol

No child belongs in prison. Victoria will #RaiseTheAge if no national consensus reached. Thanks Dan Andrews on leadership for this critical reform. The age must be raised to at least 14 with no carve-outs, no police involvement. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

We welcome the Premier's call to raise the age of criminal responsibility and agree with Nerita Waight CEO of VALS Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service that it must be raised to at least 14 years with no exceptions.
