18.01.2022 How does your income compare? This ABC News tool shows you where you sit on Australia's income ladder. A recent study by The Australian National University found almost 95% of people had misconceptions about either the level of inequality in Australia or their position in the national income distribution. While this tool can't adequately define class brackets as it doesn't look at factors such as assets or cultural capital, it is a great interactive tool to see where you and... your neighbours fit in relation to income distribution. - 75% of top income earners are male - Indigenous people are greatly underrepresented, making up less than 1 per cent of the top-earning bracket #auspol #IncomeInequality https://www.abc.net.au//201/income-scale-australia/9301378

14.01.2022 More than 50 intersex-led organisations and groups from around the world have signed a joint statement condemning the repathologisation of intersex variations as disorders of sex development. Intersex people are born with physical or biological sex characteristics that dont fit binary ideas around male and female bodies. There are at least 40 kinds of intersex variations and according to experts up to 1.7 per cent of the population are born with one or more of them. Some i...ntersex traits are visible at birth while others might not be apparent until puberty. #intersex Intersex Human Rights Australia

14.01.2022 The wealthiest 20% of Australians have left the rest behind, while the recent tax boost will see the largest benefits flow to higher-income earners through a flattening of the tax system. Ultimately, wealthier Australians will pay less due to a combination of changes to tax offsets and income thresholds. Although this group mostly missed out on the benefits of stage one, in four years' time they will be the big winners. Low-income families have not seen any increase in their ...net worth for more than a decade, and fewer than 30% of workers own their home outright. #auspol #auspol2019 https://www.smh.com.au//revealed-the-households-with-surgi

13.01.2022 On the last day of the Coronial Inquest, Tanya Days family has said that Victoria Police must take responsibility for Aboriginal people dying in its custody.

The court room stood and applauded Tanyas children, Warren, Belinda and Apryl, when they finished giving their evidence today. #JusticeForTanyaDay... #RememberHerName See more

13.01.2022 "In our language the word for LOVE, ganóöhgwáshä, was described by an Onöndowaga (Elder) as being derived from our word for medicine, Onöhgwashä. Our me...aning for love refers to a medicine that binds two people together. Its the spiritual concept of medicine that Indigenous people have, that Western medicine perspectives dont consider. LOVE and HOPE: The powerful energy of LOVE that we can exhibit by showing LOVE and compassion with one another through our actions, words and the condition of the mind - is the HOPE that we provide for our future generations. By coming together as one again in our minds and spirits we can help heal the wounds of intergenerational trauma . Dëgawënödi:het (a.k.a.

11.01.2022 Today we're at the Philanthropy Meets Parliament Summit at Parliament House in Canberra.

06.01.2022 The 25th of November marks International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. While names, times and contexts may differ across geographic locations, women and girls universally experience rape, sexual violence and abuse. Rape is not just an act committed by one person, but also a pervasive culture that feeds on silence.

06.01.2022 An Aboriginal boy who was nearly jailed at the age of 10 has urged the Northern Territory Government to raise the age of criminal responsibility, telling them t...o remember him "when you are making big laws about us". Dujuan also told Parliament about how he felt confused and disengaged with school, where "[the] history is for white people", and asked that Aboriginal people be empowered to run them instead. "Let us speak our languages in school and learn about what makes us strong," he said. "I think this would have helped me from getting into trouble, and getting locked up or taken away from welfare." #raisetheage https://www.abc.net.au//alice-springs-boy-almost/11393252

02.01.2022 The Dan Andrews State Government of Victoria has announced they will spend $1.8 billion on expanding prisons. This public money would be better spent on evidence based approaches focused on early intervention, prevention and ongoing support. Diversion is proven to prevent people going back to prison, with current diversion programs seeing the reoffending rate drop to about 10% Due to the Governments own draconian bail laws, in April 2019 just under half of all women and about... a third of all men in Victorian jails had not been sentenced for any crime and women have become the fastest growing population in Victorias prisons. Many women in prison are themselves victims of crime. When a woman has turned to drug use to self-medicate for family or sexual violence, she should not end up in prison, she should get the counselling and drug rehabilitation support that she needs. There is something deeply wrong with the justice system when our prisons are filled with people who need help" said Federation of Community Legal Centres CEO, Serina McDuff See the public statement from the Federation of Community Legal Centres Victoria https://www.fclc.org.au/public_statement_on_prison_expansio #auspol #governmentservices #accesstojustice
