21.01.2022 Thrilled to run into our colleagues from the Dhurrawang Program at Cancom Law at Yeddung Mura’s #NAIDOC event today. Together with the Centre’s Mulleun Mura Program, this committed and talented group of people are responsible for greatly increasing Aboriginal people’s access to justice and legal processes in Canberra and doing it in a way that uses culture and community as a strength.

21.01.2022 Everyone’s so good at watching tv these days so the great news is you can celebrate NAIDOC Week whilst sitting on your couch!

17.01.2022 "The tendency to distinguish the "personal violence" of violence against women and the public violence of terrorism bolsters the commonly held view that violence against women is somehow different or special, not even really violence, and is less significant than the public violence of terrorism." Some good analysis from Jenna Price in today's The Canberra Times and the connections between all forms of violence.

06.01.2022 Congratulations to Jane Campbell who has just been appointed as the ACT's newest special magistrate. Great to see the ACT government recognise the deep skill and commitment of practitioners in the legal assistance sector - Jane has previously worked as the Centre's Human Rights and Discrimination Solicitor and more recently as the Deputy CEO at Legal Aid ACT. More women on the bench something to celebrate as well!
