"In 2021, Australia watched on as NSW authorities prosecuted an 11-year-old child for theft and put hundreds of other children behind bars for various crimes (including three 10-year-olds)." It's well past time to #RaiseTheAge to 14 at the absolute least. marieclaire.com.au/aboriginal-chi…

Our thoughts are with the young mans family and loved ones at this difficult time. sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2…

👀We're watching #Budget2022 to see if it delivers for First Nations peoples. We're looking for: >> Raise #Centrelink above the poverty line >> Invest in public & Aboriginal controlled housing >> Fund First Nations Advocates Against Family Violence & NATSILS >> Establish a National Justice Reinvestment Body

No additional funding for legal assistance services or peak justice body will further see our people disproportionately overrepresented in the criminal legal system. #Budget2022

NATSILS MEDIA RELEASE: “Yet again, the Budget lets our people down” - Lack of funding for Aboriginal Legal Services further entrenches our people into the justice system. Read here: bit.ly/38etaZf #Budget2022

MEDIA RELEASE: We have condemned the Morrison Government’s pre-election #Budget22 #Budget2022 as failing to meet community needs or expectations. With budget cuts to vitally needed services, it is a budget fail for First Nations peoples and justice 👇🏾 changetherecord.org.au/change-the-rec…

👂🏾LISTEN to Co-Chair Cheryl Axleby -tweets are my own personal views. on #Budget22. Not only has it come up short of what NATSILS and First Nations Advocates Against Family Violence need to meet community demand... but the Government failed to index our funding to rising inflation That means a funding CUT in real terms! abc.net.au/radionational/…

The NSW Legislative Assembly is currently considering the #FamilyIsCulture Bill, a proposal to reform the broken child protection system to support Aboriginal kids. We remind MLAs of the mandate from Aboriginal peak organisations: support our children, support this Bill. #nswpol

.Change the Record's Cheryl Axleby -tweets are my own personal views. said there was no “safe way” to use #SpitHoods, saying it was "deeply disturbing" they were used by NT PFES & Queensland Police. She said there was little transparency over their use and called for Aus to #BanSpitHoods. (A)manda Parkinson 👉 ntnews.com.au/news/indigenou…

The use of spit hoods is dangerous and dehumanising. We vehemently oppose the use of spit hoods and urge all governments to listen to and support the calls of Aboriginal leaders and advocates and put a life-saving legislative ban on their use in all settings. #BanSpitHoods

Spithoods are dangerous, demeaning and inhumane. There is no 'safe' way to use a spit hood. We are calling for a national ban. Email your MP to take action>> changetherecord.org.au/banspithoods

We stand with the family of Mootijah Shillingsworth, who died in custody of health issues stemming from an ear infection. As our client, Mootijah's cousin Ruby Dykes, said: “Dying of otitis media, an ear infection, in this day and age is not acceptable.” smh.com.au/national/nsw/i…

We joined with dozens of others to call on the QLD Government to listen to our unanimous evidence: #RaiseTheAge to at least 14 years old. Imprisoning children is cruel. It only sets them up to fail and does nothing to address the drivers of crime. theguardian.com/australia-news…
