Research has found a large portion of prisoners in 🇦🇺 come from & return to a ’small’ number of inadequately resourced neighbourhoods & communities.

It's not rocket science
Australia cannot afford the social, health and economic costs of over-imprisonment of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Australians.Strong, healthy & connected communities are the most effective way to prevent crime & make communities safer.
Justice reinvestment offers a pathway to achieve this.
Justice reinvestment is a strategy for reducing the number of people in prison by investing funds drawn from the corrections budget into early intervention, ...
....prevention and diversionary solutions in communities where many prisoners come from and return too. Justice reinvestment involves working with a community to design local solutions to overcome the drivers of crime and incarceration.
Evidence shows justice reinvestment is already working

@simonahac @ScottMorrisonMP @Barnaby_Joyce We have a dysfunctional hung 2-party-preferred system in 🇦🇺 politics that isn’t working for people, & it sure isn’t working for the planet. My collapse of faith in our democracies isn’t an accident. It’s one of the central victories of the neoliberal project, delivered through..
@simonahac @ScottMorrisonMP @Barnaby_Joyce two generations of privatisation, outsourcing and deregulation, underfunding of gov services locked in by tax cuts, restricting FOI, targeting whistleblowers and raiding the media who report on them, delegitimising and gagging public interest advocacy, and criminalising protest.
@simonahac @ScottMorrisonMP @Barnaby_Joyce Politics in Australia today relies hugely on the fact that most people don’t know most of what’s going on so as to get away with stuff that couldn’t be done under real scrutiny we have seen a clear example of this with the National Coronvirus Cabinet.

There was a massive meltdown over the boys netball team that won the recent tournament. Many commentators worried that women might twist an ankle or break a leg if they were to play mixed sports, when in fact, the consequences of segregation are much, much more costly to women. Image
Social politics have hugely affected women’s sporting performance over the last century — but what if sports could affect change in social politics?
All-male sports teams exist largely within a system run by men who went through the system themselves — men who end up as coaches, officials, and members of boards.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 21.2 times more likely to be imprisoned than non-Indigenous women.
The number of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander parents—particularly women in prison has a direct effect on the number of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Children in out-of-home care, which is a recognised pathway to youth detention & adult offending.
80% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in prison are mothers. Many women in the justice system care not only for their own children, but for the children of others and family who are sick and elderly.

The Morrison Government is handing out JobKeeper debts in the middle of a pandemic, all while letting profitable companies — who collectively raked in billions from the subsidy — off the hook. The debts are compounding distress for people in hardship. Image
Most of us would agree that government support should be given to people worse off in a crisis. But while the Morrison Government has allowed profitable companies like Harvey Norman to keep millions each, it's kicking people just trying to get by in the guts. Image
Hasan — an Uber driver who lost work in last year's lockdown — copped a crushing $28,000 debt after the ATO advised him to apply for JobKeeper in error.

Most of the anti-sentiment against transgender athletes of course largely comes from a place of wanting to protect the integrity of women’s sport, rather than simple hatred and bigotry.
Frankly, given most people’s understanding of the differences between male and female bodies, this is an understandable point of view.
Prominent media personalities such as Piers Morgan, Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan, as well as many former athletes like Sharron Davies, Dame Kelly Holmes, Tessa Sanderson, Martina Navratilova and Paula Radcliffe have all been outspoken in their opposition towards trans athletes.
