Joined September 2010
With @ANROWS’ support I've produced a report for policymakers & practitioners, presenting key findings from my research on co-producing public policy with survivors of gender-based violence. Thank you to all the policymakers & survivors who made this work relevant & meaningful.
🆕New report! 👉 As we approach #16DaysOfActivism, we're urging policymakers to dive into Dr Lisa Wheildon's summary report, "Toward meaningful engagement: Key findings for survivor co-production of public policy on gender-based violence."

A galvanising address and 🧵 from @sandylocks “Massive resistance was the name of their resistance.. It’s clear that we have no choice but to fight.”
We know now that what they're coming after is not one form of thinking. It's not Black history, it's not intersectionality, it's not critical race theory. They're coming after the entire infrastructure that has been created from the civil rights movement.

@PatrickLenton I think there are some names that we don’t know what to do with, like mine. I got “Wheelie-bin” in high school, and, just when I thought I’d outgrown it, I got “Wheels” short for “Wheelie-bin” in my first job at ABC TV! 😆

Harrowing is the word…
Here's a non-paywalled link to the Neil Gaiman article. It's an important read, but definitley not a light one - an unfathomably harrowing account of sexual abuse. In a just world, neither Gaiman nor Amanda Palmer would know another day's peace.

@wtb_Michael @MondayStory I grew up with these guys living not far from my home… I can’t remember how I first learned that they migrated to and from Siberia, but when I did I remember thinking that if they can get to Siberia then surely I can get to wherever I want!

Victoria’s Victims of Crime Commissioner Elizabeth Langdon has today announced a major review of the state’s Victims’ Charter. Your voice matters in shaping how our justice system supports victims of crime. Have your say. #VicJustice

As we approach the end of this horror year, a year that has been draining & soul-destroying for so many, I just want to pause & also urge us to “bear witness” to the dogged determination of frontline workers, survivor advocates, academics & so many others.

@TamaraOudyn Thanks for this beautiful story. I employed Suzy when I worked in ABC TV Marketing. She was a great photographer & esp good with those who felt uncomfortable in front of the lens. I loved her work so much I had her take my wedding photos. It’s our 22nd anniversary this weekend 🥂
