Undisputedly true. It's State-sanctioned child abuse with lifelong untoward consequences for both the child and society. #RaiseTheAge #auspol #vicpol
I missed this earlier in the month, but the state failed these kids at birth, at school, in care, and now it finishes the job in adult prisons. These laws won’t stop violence. They’ll just make sure Aboriginal and other disadvantaged children pay for it forever.

Aboriginal children are members of the community. If politicians recognised this simple fact they would make different “community safety” laws and begin with #RaiseTheAge to keep safe from police.

If you want our government to make meaningful legislative changes that will actually keep kids safe, join the #RaiseTheAge campaign.
Let me just say it's been an incredible few months leading to this (and this is just the start of this ad campaign). To make change we need people to know 10-year-olds are being sent to prison. This campaign will be seen and heard across NSW. Proud. mumbrella.com.au/industry-cal...

Nope.

The federal government needs to step in. We can’t have privately owned prisons in Australia. This thing needs to end.

Prisons are an essential government service. They can’t be run for profit.

Before people in NSW see this Ad: 30% say don’t #raisetheage of criminal responsibility, 27 unsure, 33 support. After? 26% don’t, 20 unsure, 54 support. THAT IS HUGE. The evidence is in, hearts and minds now, hearts and minds. #nswpol youtu.be/XEYJ0tz2qgo

I've long called for action to better protect children online and have worked with parents, campaigners and young people to push for change.

Today's announcement is a significant milestone.
