Australia's ICE agents

Saves the SMH journalism money if they take stories from their sister paper in Melbourne. That's how much they care about Melbourne ...

Correct

What could possibly go wrong?

Also Also Reagan, Bush and Bush Jnr

OMG the flying Chi!

Agree wholeheartedly. Policing is racial, gendered & deeply flawed.
But counting our "justice" chickens based on convictions is a nonsense.
Conviction comparisons are only relevant if everyone is equally legally represented in court. Outcomes are affected by who has access to lawyers

Thank you for sharing my story. So very appreciated. We know what the solutions are. We need to convince Governments to fund them

Thank you for sharing my story Sally. The effects for misidentified women are many & life changing. The Safer Ways campaign aims to promote solutions we know will work. What we do now fails on every level. Police more often than not make it worse for victims. Safer Ways are available

F&DV front line services in Vic have given up on cops. Cops make F&DV worse. They're asking for $ for experienced front line staff trained in deescalation, able to correctly identify who is primary perp, & who can provide integrated help, safety & justice, to accompany cops or replace them

Even with the best training, if staff feel they're unable to manage an incident, they have no one they can call for support or expertise except cops. We need community-based, mental health responders with skills in deescalation etc available as an option when we call 000. Cops make it worse
