24.01.2022 Last week I had the honour and privilege to join an amazing group of advocates - and friends - from across the world at the United Nations in Geneva, for the conference 'Celebrating 30 years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.' Facilitated by the International Social Service, and thanks to the hard work and dedication of Ms Stephanie Reymakers and Dr Sonia Allen, we had the rare opportunity to have our voices heard, on a global platform, by the leaders in the UN or...ganisations and by other child rights advocates from many different nations. We presented at the 'Children's Rights in the Age of Biotechnology' session. It was simply extraordinary to be up there delivering our message, and then to receive a standing ovation! A truly incredible moment that I will never, ever forget. In consultation with the International Social Service, and Hague Consultant Lawyer Dr Michael Wells-Greco, we issued important recommendations which were presented to the UN at the closing plenary session. I am proud to have been a part of this incredible experience. Finally the relevant voices are being heard. I look forward to taking our long overdue seat at the table (great big chair out front or not!) #neveraboutuswithoutus #crc30 #crc30dc #donorconceived #ChildRights30 #WorldChildrensDay #advocacy

15.01.2022 VICTORIA - stage 1 of easing restrictions announced, effective 11.59pm tomorrow night (Tuesday 12 May 2020) until end of May (with further options for June to be considered if this strategy is successful). A fifth reason has been added to the reasons for leaving your home, and an amendment has been made to no.3: 1. to get essential supplies - ie food; 2. to get medical assistance, or provide same to a loved one; 3. for exercise - now with up to 9 other people; 4. to attend w...ork or education, but only if you cannot do that from home; 5. to visit family or friends, but with no more than 5 visitors in one home. Effectively this means: - 1.5m social distancing and hygiene measures remain in place; - You may visit family and friends or have up to 5 guests at your home, but not frequently; - If you can work from home this is to continue until the end of May; - Day trips are allowed (ie to national parks or to beaches to surf), but no overnight stays; - Restaurants/cafes will still only offer takeout for now; - Community sport can recommence training sessions of up to 10 people, but with no contact; - Weddings may have 10 guests; - Funerals may have 20 mourners if inside, 30 if outside; - Counselling and community services (including auctions, religious services) may have up to 10 people; - A staged return to face-to-face learning to be announced soon.

10.01.2022 Flipping through the bills six years ago, Marilyn White came upon a curious letter telling her she could have inherited a significant estate from a man she had ...never known. The letter acknowledged she "may not have heard of this person before" and that it "may come as a surprise". Just write or call back. So she did, and she wound up $350,000 richer. See more

06.01.2022 This is not the news I wanted to be delivering today and I’m sure it’s not the news anyone wants to be hearing. We've managed to slow the case numbers over th...e past couple of weeks. But the epidemiological modelling is telling us that at current rates of transmission, and with our current restrictions, it would take months to drive the numbers back down not days or weeks. And that means months of uncertainty and living in limbo. It also means, sadly, more Victorians in hospital beds. More Victorians hooked up to machines just to breathe. More funerals. We can't allow this to drag on and I’m sure everyone would rather get on top of it as quickly and decisively as we possibly can. And the only way to do that is to rip the bandaid off, go harder and do it now. That’s why from 6pm tonight, Victoria will enter a State of Disaster. We used this same direction during the fires and as we fight this public health bushfire, we need to use it again. This will give Victoria Police additional powers to make sure people are complying with public health directions and we’ll have more to say on this in the coming days. From 6pm tonight, Melbourne will also move to Stage 4 restrictions with stronger rules to limit the movement of people and limit the spread of this virus across our city. That includes an 8pm-5am curfew beginning tonight. The only reasons to leave home during these hours will be work, medical care and caregiving. New time, distance and gathering limits will also apply for exercise and shopping. Exercise will be limited to a maximum of one hour per day and no more than five kilometres from your home. Group size will be limited to a maximum of two you and one other person whether you live with them or not. Shopping will be limited to one person per household per day. Again, you’ll need to stay within 5kms of your home. Supermarkets will remain open just as they have throughout this entire pandemic so there is absolutely no need to rush out now to stock up. There will be some common-sense exceptions. If your closest supermarket is further than 5kms away, you can still shop there. If you’re a parent with little ones, you can still take them with you when you go for a walk. And these distance, gathering and time limits won’t apply for work, medical care or compassionate reasons. But basically ‘staying at home’ needs to mean exactly that. No loopholes. No excuses. Case numbers have also been rising in regional Victoria and we can’t allow that to continue. The data suggests there's a risk the virus is moving faster and more widely than previously thought. That’s why from 11.59pm on Wednesday, Stage 3 restrictions will return across regional Victoria meaning there will once again only be four reasons to be out. Restaurants and cafes can only offer delivery and takeaway. Beauty and personal services will need to close. Entertainment and cultural venues will need to close. Community sport will need to stop. This timeframe is to help local businesses prepare not an excuse to go racing around seeing friends and maxing out your social calendar. Even though regional restrictions don’t formally start until Wednesday night, if you can stay at home in the meantime, you must. To the question I know most parents will be asking: Schools will return to remote and flexible learning across all year levels, in all parts of the state. Students who are currently attending onsite will go to school on Monday, have a pupil free day on Tuesday, and be learning at home from Wednesday. Onsite supervision will again be available but only for students who really need it. That means children whose parents have to go to work and vulnerable kids who can’t learn from home. From Thursday, those same rules will apply to Melbourne’s kinder and early childhood education services. We know this will be a significant ask of parents with little ones and big ones too. But I promise, as a parent of three, it’s an ask I don’t make lightly. These changes will be in place for at least the next six weeks until Sunday 13 September. As always, we’ll keep reviewing and realigning the restrictions in line with the advice of our health experts and if we can change things earlier, we will. Today, I’ve made some announcements that change how Victorians will live. Tomorrow and in the coming days, I’ll have more to say about changes to the way Victorians need to work recognising that workplaces continue to be a source of much of the spread. I appreciate this gap between announcements may create a level of anxiety and uncertainty and I'm sorry about that. But the truth is, this is complex and we’re going to take some extra time to make sure we get these calls right. I know this is a lot of information to take in and there will be details to figure out and questions to answer. I’ll explain things as clearly as I possibly can, and do my best to clarify any points of uncertainty over the next couple of days. The truth is that there are no easy solutions. If that were the case, the global community would be rid of this virus already. If there was a magic bullet, more than 683,000 people wouldn’t have already lost their lives around the world. This is the biggest and most complex challenge we’ve encountered in living memory and it requires big and complex solutions. People will no doubt be feeling scared and sad and worried. That’s only natural given what we’re facing. It’s why I’m asking something else of Victorians: Please be calm. Please be kind. Please be patient. Please treat people the way you would want to be treated. And please look out for each other. We can we will get through this.

02.01.2022 When your life gets rearranged for you, and everything has changed, your perspective also changes. You reorganise everything. You have to. It is paramount. You ...get to decide - Who or what is important now. Who or what is no longer important and who or what never was. Life has a way of showing you your priorities and rearranging your focus. It is not always about a superficial kind of love. It is often about a deeper love. And that love has to come back to a love of self. Stepping forward into a new world with new focus and new priorities is scary and exhilarating both at the same time. Credit: Allison Walker

02.01.2022 In an ever more complex family law landscape, it is well and truly time to update birth certificates to include all parties to the creation of a child - birth parent, genetic parents, parent(s) with legal parental responsibility... The focus in all of these biotechnology cases should be squarely on the rights of the child.
