Great to see Jacinta Allan describing positive impacts of FV reform in Vic, & focus on justice reform. Premier, when will Vic sexual violence strategy be released, to address SV justice reform? Also Justice Navigators will have such a positive impact - when will work start?

Great to see Anthony Albanese talking about focus on pornography and its impact re gendered violence #nationalcabinet

Important to see focus on kids & young people. Important to remember that sexual violence services have worked for decades w kids and young people, but are starved for funds. #nationalcabinet

This includes in-depth work for up to 2 years with chn & young people, mainky boys, who use harmful sexual behaviour. This is exploding, but in Vic services are funded to work only w around 1,250 kids across the whole state (although they work w 2x that). Anthony Albanese Jacinta Allan

Every single child under 18 has now been removed from Scotland's prisons following passage of a law that prohibits the detention of children in prisons. Almost everywhere in Australia, children as young as 10 can still be locked up in prisons. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Sam is not the first MP to have an affair with a staff member. This isn’t blurring work boundaries, what most MPs fail to acknowledge is the power imbalance that exists. Bosses give directions. 🧵1/2 #springst theage.com.au/politics/victo…

1/ We’ve been privileged to hear from Liana Buchanan on the response to child sexual abuse and exploitation, “I ask that we continue to remember all the different groups who might be less likely to get our attention in these reform efforts”

2/ “If we’re looking at a crime that’s about power, there are not many groups in our community that have less power, less voice, than children.”

Gone to the other side. See you there. #Bluesky

The #Grampians an inferno, the exquisite Victoria Valley scorched and our ‘leaders’ still not just failing to act with urgency but lying about it, their toadying up to planet wreckers still wanton. They want to get elected but they refuse to govern. theguardian.com/environment/20…

So I guess Elon Musk’s seemingly new-found concern about child sexual exploitation and rape means he’ll be stopping X being used to facilitate it, and will be pushing his fellow tech tsars to do the same? #cse #csa #groomingangs

The Greens’ campaign review should actively seek out views from the many many previously loyal, dedicated & long-standing members who were driven out of the party or left in despair because of the (new) internal authoritarianism and rejection of core Green values & priorities.

What’s happened to basic journalistic balance The Age? 8 people saying the mural was terrific and only one counter view. As for it being ‘edgy’, Stephen Jolly porn and other garden variety depictions of violence against women are tediously mainstream. theage.com.au/national/victo…
