Two-thirds of children held on remand aren’t ultimately sentenced to detention, a new @SACvic report has found. These children are in prison when they should be in the community.

So grateful to the 644 children & young people who engaged with us about the impact of COVID. Today we have released three snapshots, sharing what we heard about the impact on children and young people's mental health, safety and education.

I have very few words. Many feelings, but few words. I can say this, however: our systems for protecting children - right across this country - must do better. Children do not deserve this. Ever. We must - MUST - do better. amp.abc.net.au/article/12297…

Each year Dementia Australia releases updated projections of how many people are estimated to live with dementia across Australia. Each year that number grows. Without a medical breakthrough the number of Australians with dementia is expected to be more than one million by 2058.

I want everyone - including religious leaders - to understand these kinds of decisions may now be considered 'significant neglect' under the reportable conduct scheme. It is not acceptable, or lawful, to allow known abusers continued access to children.
