16.01.2022 There are some amazing organisations on the Coast. Thank you

16.01.2022 This is very special

15.01.2022 Changes to a Victorian law back in February made it an offence to publicly identify victim-survivors of sexual violence. These changes removed the capacity for ...survivors to give permission for their names or images to be published, as was the case under the previous law. These gag laws were brought to light by the #LetUsSpeak campaign, led by Rape & Sexual Assault Research & Advocacy, End Rape on Campus Australia, Marque Lawyers and journalist Nina Funnell. Now the Victorian government is fast-tracking reforms to the gag laws that would reinstate the rights of victim-survivors to speak out about their experiences of sexual violence and the criminal justice response. But, in the rush to respond, have they got the details right?

12.01.2022 Mean or cruel words harm children and young people. Cruel comments, name calling or yelling at children can hurt them and make them feel unimportant and unlovab...le. ‘Sticks and Stones’ comments of days gone by have long been disproven and it is clear that calling children names, even in jest is harmful. Yelling, name calling or making cruel comments about children or any part of them is harmful. If you are a trusted person in a child’s life it is most likely that they will believe what you are saying. As part of Queensland Child Protection Week in Gympie (6-12 Sept), we’ve put together a list of helpful services that can provide confidential support to kids and parents.

06.01.2022 HAPPY NAIDOC WEEK It’s NAIDOC Week an annual celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, cultures and achievements. This year's theme - Always Was, Always Will Be, recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years.... Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. Australia has the world’s oldest oral stories. The First Peoples engraved the world’s first maps, made the earliest paintings of ceremony and invented unique technologies. We built and engineered structures - structures on Earth - predating well-known sites such as the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge. Our adaptation and intimate knowledge of Country enabled us to endure climate change, catastrophic droughts and rising sea levels. Always Was, Always Will Be. acknowledges that hundreds of Nations and our cultures covered this continent. All were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future. Read more on the NAIDOC website.
