Great collaboration with @NTAV for our students too. Most fabulous collection for them to be involved with.
Today I saw the most amazing exhibition at Labassa in Caulfield - CostumeLAB - a collab between @NTAV and @Cultcons giving visitors a peek behind the scenes at textile conservation. Super cool, and on until 5 May. nationaltrust.org.au/event/c…

As Chair of the Justice Reform Initiative I stand with Change the Record to express my profound dismay that despite the mountain of evidence that jailing is failing kids the NT Parliament is ignoring this evidence @Change_Record @JailingsFailing @NAAJA_NT @amnestyOz @DanilaDilba
