Media Release: Australian civil society orgs welcome EU’s new corporate due diligence law as a significant step forward for the protection of people and the planet and call on Albanese Government to follow. @WalkFree @BeSlaveryFree @HumanRightsUNSW hrlc.org.au/news/2024/4/24…
Big tech is profiting from our data while toxic disinformation spreads through our democracy. The Albanese Government should appoint an independent regulator to hold big tech accountable, and ensure these platforms put people first, not profit. @davidHRLC
Social media has really accelerated progress for so many of us. However, as we’ve seen recently, these platforms wield immense power that comes with a dark side. We need a digital landscape that puts people first.
Looking forward to this @thevalsmob webinar on the historic decriminalisation of public intoxication in Victoria last year, that was testament to the tireless advocacy of the Day family in seeking justice for their mother. #JusticeForTanyaDay

Technology should bring our communities together, not divide us for profit. But the lax, self-regulation of big tech platforms is allowing them to wreak havoc on our democracy and our society. An important read, below. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
While shackling children with electronic monitoring devices scores cheap political points, they don't prevent crime. All the intrusive technology does is expand the walls of youth prisons into children’s homes and sets children up to fail. theage.com.au/national/victo…
Do politicians ever learn? Ever expanding police powers & presence is not the answer. Record spending on policing should be re-directed by governments to housing, health care, community services & the other supports that actually work to prevent crime. theage.com.au/politics/victo…
Whistleblowers should be protected, not punished. The $2.4million spent by the Australian Government to prosecute whistleblower David McBride would be far better spent on setting up a whistleblower protection authority. @KieranHRLC canberratimes.com.au/story/8595659/…
The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. If police and governments want less protests, then they should address the issues that people are protesting about. @davidHRLC on @abcmelbourne #ProtectProtest abc.net.au/listen/program…
I represented @humanrightsHRLC on a visit to Jujuy, Argentina, after Jujuy's constitutional change which prioritised lithium mining over the rights of Indigenous people. Our report: 'The scramble for lithium threatens the rights of Indigenous peoples in Jujuy' is out now. 👇🏾
When @VictoriaPolice say there are too many peaceful protests they’re saying that there’s too much democracy. Protest is fundamental to our democracy. There also wouldn’t be so many protests if our Govts actually did their jobs and listened to our concerns! #ProtectProtest

$7 phone calls should not keep families apart. But for people in Victoria’s prisons, grotesque levels of privatisation mean that it costs more than a day’s work just to make a short call. New op-ed in @rightnowinc by @monique_hurley @Sarah__Schwartz rightnow.org.au/opinion/the-ca…

The right to protest is fundamental to democracy - it’s how we hold the powerful to account & speak up about what’s important to us. As a @Columbia alum, I'm horrified by 100s of students being arrested for exercising their right to peacefully assemble in support of Palestine.
The world is watching @Columbia - The right to peaceful protest is a fundamental human right that allows us to express our views, shape our societies and press for social and legal change. Solidarity with the students calling for peace and justice.

Protest works. #ProtectProtest
On this day in 1856, stonemasons walked off the job to protest their long working days. They had an ambitious vision: dividing 24 hours into 8 hours work, 8 hours recreation and 8 hours rest. And they would achieve it with no loss of pay.
Technology should bring our communities together, not divide us for profit. But the lax, self-regulation of big tech platforms is allowing them to wreak havoc on our democracy and our society. An important read, below. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Social media platforms need to go beyond just spin and hiding behind platform funded "regulators" and be truthful about what they're doing to fix misinformation on their platforms. Specially as their products are causing grave harm. @ausreset crikey.com.au/2024/04/16/dig…
Kneejerk reactions are not how we solve deep problems. If police are given powers to search everyone and anyone without a warrant then we know they'll target people of colour and Aboriginal communities all the while not solving the actual problem. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
Government MPs complaining about their own government's actions in the press reeks more of self-promotion than actually doing something about the problem they themselves are creating (and ultimately will vote for anyway). abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
It's no surprise that the Joint Committee on Human Rights found that Labor's Entry Ban and Deportation Bill breaches human rights. If the Bill gets through the Senate, it could lead to refugees being forced to return to countries where they face persecution or even death 🤯
