The inquest into the death in custody of 16-yo Yamatji boy Cleveland Dodd continues today 25 July, on Whadjuk Noongar boodja. Former Director General of the Justice Department Dr Adam Tomison continues his evidence, who resigned in Dec 2023. #JusticeforCleveland

Q: ...in retrospect do you accept that using Dec 2021 as a moment when you go to the Minister... and say enough is enough, the camel's back is broken, end of the line has been reached… do you accept that’s what should've happened? A: In retrospect I do. #JusticeforCleveland

Q: The questions you were being asked that I just read out... were pretty simple and you weren't confined to yes no answers? A: Maybe not here... I think I was v bad on this day, it was bad testimony, it was poor testimony & it doesn't align with my views. #JusticeforCleveland

Q: So, we've established the views you expressed at the Royal Commission were not views you had at the time? A: My comments were inconsiderate, they were incorrect... I wasn’t lying, I made those comments, I regret them deeply. #JusticeforCleveland

BREAKING: Former Director General of Dept Justice Tomison says Unit 18 was approved based on lies and he thinks the Minister would never have signed off if he knew the truth #JusticeforCleveland

Media Release: The Human Rights Law Centre denounces Victorian Premier Allan for breaking promise to #RaiseTheAge to 14 by 2027. Pipelining children into youth prisons does not make the community safer. Monique Hurley Maggie Munn (they/them)🇵🇸 hrlc.org.au/news/2024/08/1…

We are SHOCKED and dismayed at the Allan Government’s decision to break its PROMISE to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility to 14 years old by 2027. The youth crime wave narrative we are all reading about and seeing in the media is NOT reality Djirra Change the Record 1/4

Media Release: Backflip on raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 a step backwards for community safety #RaiseTheAge #YouthJustice ccyp.vic.gov.au/news/backflip-…

Children belong with our families and communities, not locked up behind bars. We denounce Premier Allan for breaking the promise to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 14 by 2027 in Victoria. #RaiseTheAge hrlc.org.au/news/2024/08/1…

We are deeply disappointed by Victorian Government decisions to go back on its pledge to #raisetheage of criminal responsibility to 14 by 2027 & to introduce tougher bail laws for repeat offenders. We will continue to work with gov to ensure that children are safe. shorturl.at/1DY7m

No child belongs in prison, kids should be free to be kids. Don’t let the Vic Government get away with this. #RaisetheAge #Abolishyouthprisons

I wasn't just a legal researcher, I was legal and research associate to then President Croucher... hence why my identity was perceived as even more of a risk.

As many have pointed out already, this action was in solidarity with SUDAN. Please, the war in Sudan has already been ignored, dismissed and erased enough. Do not contribute to this further.

Another young blackfulla has died in custody, 1st death in Banksia Hill. This is absolutely gutting. And after Cleveland. This child’s blood is on governments’ hands. Roger Cook My heart is broken, I’m sending all my love to his family and our community #Abolishyouthprisons

He was only 17. WA government is now responsible for the deaths of 2 Aboriginal teenagers in custody within a year. This is unprecedented and completely preventable. Government knows the solutions. This is an unwillingness to act. #BlackLivesMatter nit.com.au/30-08-2024/134…

We’ve sat in Cleveland’s coronial for weeks hearing from how it was only a matter of time before a death in Banksia Hill. They KNEW. The government Roger Cook has not acted and now TWO young lives have been lost. 💔 Your inaction is killing our children. Shut youth prisons!

This is atrocious, and tells you everything you need to know about this colony. How did Anthony Albanese not know about this horrific death in custody of a 17 yo Blackfulla? #BlackLivesMatter #KeepBlackKidsAlive news.com.au/national/weste…

The government responds to the WhatsApp group notorious for harassing and targeting Palestinians by enacting legislation to, paradoxically, support and reassure the perpetrators of this bullying. Make it make sense.
