NSW Police are lobbying the Gov to introduce laws that would create criminal offences for the parents of minors found with weapons. This is a terrible idea & yet another way to weaken social cohesion & destroy families. Who thinks this stuff up? nswccl.org.au/nsw_police_sho… #nswpol

The climate crisis is a human crisis. And displacement is one of its most devastating human consequences.

A reminder for urgent #ClimateAction .

Criminal lawyer Lydia Shelly on the NSW Council for Civil Liberties tells us if something like Jack’s Law could have stopped any of the recent knife attacks in Sydney.

We hope our political leaders care enough about our democracy not to wilfully spread disinformation & hate. This statement lacked factual basis & also dangerously conflated unrelated issues. It was a disgraceful, desperate political grab & we deplore it #DemocracyInDanger #auspol

Today we appear before the NSW Electoral Matters Committee to advocate for truth in political advertising reform for NSW. It’s legal to lie to voters and we don’t think that’s ok #democracy #TruthMatters 🗳️ #OurDemocracy Human Rights Law Centre

As a survivor of the Port Arthur massacre I find Dutton’s words despicable, disrespectful & inappropriate. I find that most of what Dutton says lately is becoming more and more unhinged. #auspol

📣 NSW Gov has confirmed that there will be a public review into draconian anti-protest laws, providing the opportunity for open &transparent public scrutiny. This week 37 orgs & over 1000 individuals signed our petition demanding this review. THANK YOU!! #protectprotest

The Human Rights Law Centre is a proud signatory to this letter to Premier Chris Minns. With NSW's anti protest laws finally up for review, it's essential that the review is not shrouded in secrecy. We all deserve to have a say on these vague, broad laws...
