These new laws demonstrate the potential connection between public policy and mental harm. Laws that deepen mental distress and despair for individuals who are directly impacted, plus their families. Compounding trauma of entrapment, fear, burdensomeness, unendurable uncertainty.

'In a radical departure ... the government is seeking to further criminalise the migration system. The consequences could be disastrous.' Read @UNSWLaw's @profjmcadam @DanGhez @madelinegleeson & @drtristanharley on the bill now headed for a Senate inquiry: theconversation.com/the-cons…

It's been a while since we had to drop everything to respond to a draconian government bill ... but today was one of those days unsw.edu.au/news/2024/03/Kal…

We are excited to share our new Climate Mobility Hub @KaldorCentre. It's a 101 on all aspects of climate mobility - from displacement, evacuations, migration and planned relocations, through to enabling people to stay at home. Explore it here! climatemobility.unsw.edu.au/…

All #climatemobility responses should:
✅be non-discriminatory and
✅respect the human dignity and fundamental rights of individuals and communities.
This includes:
✅those who move
✅communities to which they move, and
✅those who stay at home.

We’ve just released new guidance on climate mobility. The starting point must be to assist people to remain in their homes for as long as they wish to do so, but we also need dignified, rights-based responses to enhance protection & migration opportunities.
Just released: The Kaldor Centre Principles on Climate Mobility.
#Climate change is having far-reaching impacts on human mobility. How can we ensure that people can move – or stay put – in a safe and dignified way? @profjmcadam @tamarajanewood bit.ly/49AHhTN

The Kaldor Centre and @humanrightsHRLC appeared as friends of the court in this landmark case. Read our joint statement about the High Court's decision today – 'an important and long-awaited victory for human rights'. bit.ly/3SwXLGy

History is calling. The status quo hasn't been working. When we listen to Aboriginal people, there are better outcomes for everyone.
I'm voting yes to the Voice. I've convinced my parents to vote Yes. I'm part of this group of 100 Chinese-Australians saying Yes. #Yes23 @yes23au

The Voice is a practical improvement that aims to end poor policies and wasted public money, and help close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, says A/Prof. Sean Brennan (@_sbrennan). Authorised by Alison Avery for UNSW, Sydney bit.ly/3Fgjj2g

A message from Professor Megan Davis, Co-Chair of the Uluru Dialogues and Chief Architect of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, where this all began. ❤️💛🖤

In the past 20 years cancer death rates have ⬇️ for non-Indigenous, but ⬆️ for Indigenous Australians.
That’s not a fair go for all.
I’ll be voting #YesToVoice to give Australia’s First Peoples more of a voice on key issues impacting their community, such as healthcare delivery

"While doorknocking last week, I met a woman leaning towards voting no due to confusing media coverage. We chatted; she was reassured but undecided.
Yesterday, she approached me at the polls, proudly saying she voted Yes.
Every conversation counts." @tangstake

I support The Voice because I believe communities have the right to be heard on decisions, policies and programs that affect them - especially people who have suffered systemic and intergenerational disadvantage, dislocation and discrimination.
Frances Voon retweeted
People from across Australia are coming together to say YES!
Casting your vote this week and looking for more information on the Voice? Head to yes23.com.au/vote_yes to read why this is a once-in-a-generation chance for meaningful change.
