Today and this weekend, let's stand together to demand justice.
Justice for Kumanjayi White. Justice for Warlpiri Mob, and the Yuendumu community, who are grieving yet another young man’s life taken. No one should live in fear of being killed by police and in prisons.

To deliver real change, we must push Labor into a minority government with a strong crossbench that will hold them accountable and drive positive change.
At this election, back progressive independents and minor parties.
Labor and the Coaltion are not the answer.

Albanese's statement this morning supporting harsh bail laws directly contradicts what his Indigenous Australians Minister Malarndirri McCarthy has been saying.
So what does Labor support - more or fewer kids locked up unsentenced?
Labor are not our friends. They are full of it.

In this country, the Attorney-General has unchecked power to block prosecution of genocide.
My Genocide Bill would fix this, giving victim-survivors a chance at getting justice, without political interference.
Tune in tomorrow, Wednesday 26 March at 9AM, as my Bill is debated and voted on.

These laws will result in the over-incarceration of children, First Peoples, women, trans and gender-diverse people.
Evidence consistently shows that jailing children doesn't reduce crime, it only exacerbates underlying issues and increases the risk of future offending. (2/5)
