I ask the National Commission for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children and Young People how we move beyond producing endless reports - we listen to those on the ground, we fund the organisations working with communities. It's a simple message the Federal Govt must hear.
UNICEF says Australia is increasingly an outlier here - other countries are putting their obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child into national law. We must do so as well.
Watch how this 11-year-old boy reacted to seeing a bus driver racially abused in NSW. For the latest news, visit trib.al/NT6045T
Thank you to Camberwell’s finest, an absurdist and Dadaist who contributed much more to our vernacular than he ever borrowed from it. A man of keen eye, biting wit, great intelligence and warm humour. Goodbye, possum.
IN THE NEWS: New @savechildrenaus report calls for urgent, nationwide overhaul of youth justice system. "The global evidence base shows a rights-based approach to youth justice will lead to better outcomes for children, the community & govts” @TinklerMat canberratimes.com.au/story/8163849/…
Last year I joined Daniel & >100 students to speak at the first Schools Pride forum organised by students from 16 Melbourne schools. This year a record number of schools were at Pride. The future of leadership is bright, fair, & diverse. As it should be. smh.com.au/national/i-m-m…
Children's experiences of domestic and family violence need to be considered. They should be seen as victims in their own right in the new National Plan #childrights @AmandaRishworth

The news that 17 teenagers have been moved from Banksia Hill Youth Detention Centre to Casuarina Prison is deeply concerning. Together @AnneHollonds, @June_Oscar and I are calling for government action to urgently improve our youth justice systems.
The Stage 3 tax cuts must get on the table. They were absurd in the first place, & were always a bomb set by Treasurer ScoMo (and PM Turnbull) to go off in 2024. But they’re even more absurd now. There’s a big windfall coming to people who don’t need it, taken from those who do
Hmmm, we’ve spent decades gutting TAFE, underfunding universities and beating up on public schools and now we have a skilled worker shortage? Who’d have thought it! (Irony font is on.)
And have youth voice at the table! Young people will inherit an exceptionally different/challenging world - they NEED to be part of policy processes today, as stewards of tomorrow. Establishing youth voice to water & youth representation in policy is critical. #HotWaterPolicy

Canada Child Benefit is the best policy achievement of the past decade imo

A little disappointed that the message is entirely directed at adults / parents. What about all the times that children and young people 'bring up respect' with adults / stand up to adults and get disrespected in response?

Disappointing to see the Committee reject a proposal to lower the voting age to 16 in the ACT. Lowering the voting age would help increase youth political engagement and better uphold #childrights. @Dr_FaithG @BessantJudith @jamesdmcdougall @SaveAusNews citynews.com.au/2022/committee…
People with Down syndrome from across Australia told us why they got the #COVID19vaccine, and why you should too. It's important that we listen to their reasons.
Go Ken Behrens!!!!

This is such an important issue - we are seeing impacts of not engaging properly with CALD communities right now in Sydney, as we did in Melbourne in 2020. Let's do this better and more respectfully.
