🚨 At 2pm AEST Monday 27 July, there will be a nationwide AusAlert device testing.

🚨 In NSW, Queanbeyan will also have community testing at 2pm AEST, Sunday 21 June.

Devices (mobiles, smartwatches and tablets) will vibrate and play a siren-like warning sound for about 10 seconds - even if your device is on silent or ‘do not disturb’.

⚠️ If you have a safe device, or you know a loved one who might, consider telling them about this test in a safe way.

You can stop the alert before the test by:

👉🏾 turning off the mobile device or,
👉🏾 switching to aeroplane mode.

You can read more about this at: https://www.ausalert.gov.au/alerts-explained/national-test.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict.

The impacts of sexual violence are devastating and long-lasting - and harm that no one should ever go through.

In times of war, we continue to see sexual violence used to humiliate, dominate and break down people and communities. The physical and psychological toll it takes is horrific.

✊🏾 It is important we stand up and stand with victims and victim-survivors of sexual violence to break this tragic cycle of violence. We must do more to put an end to it.

Today is Mabo Day. It is also the last day of Reconciliation Week, calling for all people to be ‘All In’ in committing to reconciliation.

✊🏿 On this significant day, we acknowledge and honour Eddie Koiki Mabo, whose fight for justice overturned the idea of ‘terra nullius’, or ‘land belonging to no one’.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have lived on and cared for Country for tens of thousands of years. We must continue to listen to and learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples - and fight for genuine commitment to better support our communities. 🖤💛❤💚💙💚

Today we acknowledge National Sorry Day, a day of reflection, remembrance and truth telling.

We honour the strength and resilience of Stolen Generations survivors, their families and communities, and remember those impacted by the ongoing effects of forced removal policies.

May we continue to listen, learn and walk together toward healing, justice and reconciliation.

🖤💛❤️

Win for NSW! 🎉

'Good character’ evidence can finally no longer be used by perpetrators found guilty of sexual offences in NSW during sentencing. 👏🏾

This important reform comes after decades of advocacy from victim-survivors. We thank them for their tireless efforts, resilience and strength. 🩵✨

NSW police are trialling the ‘PolAir-Remote’ – a drone operation that is launched and controlled from Sydney – for what the police minister says is to combat youth crime, in Moree. She says that it could soon be rolled out to other regional towns like Kempsey.

Such an operation raises serious concerns about the risks of harassment, over-policing and surveillance of Aboriginal communities.

Earlier this month, Wirringa Baiya attended the Pathways to Safety for First Nations Women and Children Forum.

It was great to hear about all the work being done by Aboriginal-controlled organisations around the country to provide culturally safe outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children.

We were especially excited to meet women providing Aboriginal-specific pre-natal care to women and bubs, and the outcomes that they get.

Thank you for having us!
