If Victoria is serious about real, material, lasting safety, it must abandon punishment and invest in the conditions that allow children to thrive. Long sentences don’t deter. They don’t heal. They don’t prevent harm. #auspol #Vicpol #youthjustice
Stop pretending punishment works
When Premier Jacinta Allan is photographed proudly advancing Victoria’s Treaty process, she is rightly praised.

What's wrong with America's democracy? There has never been one
We cannot but sympathise with those who lament the destruction of American democracy as they see the rule of law dissolve before them and the once revered Constitution thrown into the wastepaper basket.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos.
It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry.
