What’s your human rights passion? Is it preventing persons from sexual abuse like the millions of tweets the past few weeks? Is it caring for the Elderly and the recent Royal Commission? Or is it the political attacks and Government cuts to ABC and SBS? 1/10 #Auspol #AusUPR20
There are so many issues in Australia right now. They are posted on Twitter daily. We might not know all of the facts. However, we do know, from the Human Rights Watch World Report 2021, the overwhelming evidence of Australia’s violations and concrete recommendations. 2/10
The 2021 Report is an excellent resource that can be used to back any of these calls for change. A reminder it was only published in January. If you search #AusUPR20 you’ll see Score Cards for each category on Australia’s violations and recommendations. 3/10

Mr Dutton’s phone number is: 02 6277 7860. Talking Points: My name is _____, I live in _____. I am calling to ask Mr Dutton to use his Migration Act powers to bring Priya, Nades and their QLD-born girls home to Biloela immediately. 1/3 #GameOver #EndChildDetention #HomeToBilo
I understand the Department of Home Affairs recommended that the Immigration Minister consider granting this family a visa to remain in Australia almost two years ago. Over 350,000 Australians have called for this family to come home to Biloela. 2/3 #EndChildDetention #HomeToBilo
I do not support a Government that is detaining this family, trying to force them from Australia to danger, or that keeps children in detention. Mr Ditton must use his Migration Act powers to bring this family home to Biloela immediately. 3/3 #EndChildDetention #HomeToBilo
It’s time to #EndChildDetention for Tharnicaa and Kopika, to #RaiseTheAge of the incarceration of children from 10 to 14 years, and it’s #TimeForAHome for those who came to Australia escaping danger and instead were detained indefinitely for never ending years. 1/10 #HomeToBilo
Australia went before the United Nations Human Rights Council for its Universal Periodic Review in Jan, 2021. Over 40 countries criticised Australia’s refugee policy, that Australia’s abandoned it’s human rights responsibilities. 2/10 #GameOver #EndChildDetention #HomeToBilo
27 countries urged Australia to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 10 to at least 14 years. Australia's age policy disproportionately affects Indigenous children who may already have inter-generational trauma. 3/10 #GameOver #EndChildDetention #RaiseTheAge
