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 @MaggieMunn

As a concerned parent and drug policy expert I am urging @IngridStitt to approve and fund drug checking/pill testing as a matter of urgency. Abundant evidence shows it saves lives. Her and other MPs are complicit in drug related deaths while they delay.

Wouldn't it be great to live in a NSW with just, fair & non-discriminatory drug laws? Join us for a discussion about how we can make this happen. nswccl.org.au/drug_law_refor… @Unharmdotorg @ACONhealth @harmreductionau @weareuniting @humanrightsHRLC @LawSocietyNSW @NSWLaborLawyers

A vital step forward. As @imjesswang_ reports a drug checking pilot is launching at Sydney’s Medically Supervised Injecting Centre. Drug testing, including pill testing, saves lives. The NSW Govt must act and introduce drug testing state-wide. #PillTesting

Introducing Harm Reduction Coalition Aotearoa! We are a coalition advocating for an end to prohibition-era drug laws in New Zealand. Interested in joining or supporting? Email [email protected]. Keep an eye out on May 7 #InternationalHarmReductionDay for our official launch event!
We stand with @ALS_NSWACT in their fight against Chris Minns’ disgusting bid to wreck children’s lives.
Please add your voice to their petition. We can’t let this become reality.
Today is National Close the Gap Day.
The NSW Labor govt should prioritise community-led solutions they agreed to under Closing the Gap.
Locking up children inflicts immeasurable harm and fails to pave the way for a better future for First Nations children.

NSW Police strip search an average of 220 children a year.

In NSW, Police conduct an average of 550 stop and searches of people and vehicles a day.
20 years ago, that number was 88.
90 per cent of the time, they find nothing.

Plans to tighten bail laws and introduce new ‘post and boast’ penalties for children in NSW are misguided, and entirely out of step with government priorities to promote community safety and wellbeing.
Unharm retweeted
We join the @ALS_NSWACT, the Coalition of Peaks, and numerous other legal services and organisations in calling on the NSW Labor government not to introduce dangerous new bail laws. These laws will incarcerate more First Nations children, and will not make communities safer.
(1/3) #PitchFestival was cut short due to extreme fire danger. Thousands of festival-goers had to evacuate.
But instead of getting people out safely, @VictoriaPolice prioritised drug testing people on the roads leading out of the festival.

(3/3) How about instead of targeting people for going to a music festival, we set up pill testing to arm patrons with expert drug advice, stop the strip searching + sniffer dogs and help everyone have fun safely?
