Big tech is profiting from our data while toxic disinformation spreads through our democracy. The Albanese Government should appoint an independent regulator to hold big tech accountable, and ensure these platforms put people first, not profit. @DavidHRLC

Social media has really accelerated progress for so many of us. However, as we’ve seen recently, these platforms wield immense power that comes with a dark side. We need a digital landscape that puts people first.

Looking forward to this Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service webinar on the historic decriminalisation of public intoxication in Victoria last year, that was testament to the tireless advocacy of the Day family in seeking justice for their mother. #JusticeForTanyaDay

While shackling children with electronic monitoring devices scores cheap political points, they don't prevent crime. All the intrusive technology does is expand the walls of youth prisons into children’s homes and sets children up to fail. theage.com.au/national/victo…

Do politicians ever learn? Ever expanding police powers & presence is not the answer. Record spending on policing should be re-directed by governments to housing, health care, community services & the other supports that actually work to prevent crime. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

Whistleblowers should be protected, not punished. The $2.4million spent by the Australian Government to prosecute whistleblower David McBride would be far better spent on setting up a whistleblower protection authority. Kieran Pender

The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. If police and governments want less protests, then they should address the issues that people are protesting about. @DavidHRLC on @ABCMelbourne #ProtectProtest
