Bill Rowlings, CEO of Civil Liberties Australia, has written an eye-opening, extended critique of the state of justice in Australia.

For a PDF version to be sent to you, please email the secretary: secretary(at)cla.asn.au Federation fails Australia again: children suffer In a classic case of Australia’s federation failing, an outbreak of interstate squabbling and ‘law and order’ electioneering is preventing a national approach to a common age of criminal responsibility for children. After years of study and analysis at ministerial council level, and a further two years of research by the WA Department of Justice in 2019 and 2020, Attorneys-General were counselled that the best way forward was to raise the AoCR (Age of Criminal Responsibility) to 14 in every state and territory. The report told them that children at 10 had no proper understanding of the nuances of right from wrong, and that 14 was the appropriate age to impose “adult” legality on kids. All states and territories should make 14 the minimum AoCR, it recommended. But Queensland reneged, facing a state election where the Labor government feared being accused as soft on crime.

  • JOHNSON Gregory Nuclear Review
    Honourable Jay Weatherill Greg Johnson Premier of South Australia Contact Details Removed The Premier's Office Contact Details Removed 5018 15th floor Contact Details Removed State Administration Centre 12th February 2015 200 Victoria Square Adelaide SA 5000 Risk assessments and issues which need to be thoroughly investigated and publically reported on by the South Australian Government Royal Commission into expanding South Australia's involvement into key elements of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle I would like to introduce my concerns by asking what 'facts' are to be included and what 'facts' are to be omitted in the Commission's terms of reference? It appears from the contradictory comments from the head of the Commission, Kevin Scarce, 'I know the dangers of the (nuclear) industry' and 'how do we convince South Australians that it is safe and what are the benefits of so doing?', that Kevin does not come to his appointment with an open mind. It seems Kevin already knows what's best for us. On the contrary, history demonstrates the nuclear industry does not have a clean safety record! It has also been prone to secrecy and of distorting the 'facts'. We need to remind ourselves that civil nuclear programs worldwide were born out of and have continued to be connected to military / industrial complexes. We also need to be conscious of the 'fact' that over time governments and their members are replaced; some by degrees of democratic process, some through corruption and some by direct or imminent force. You only have to look at the contemporary world to witness changes in circumstances, context, creed, character, type, priorities, policies, practices and behaviours of political parties, leaderships and oppositional groups, to conclude we live in and will likely continue to live in uncertain times.
