If you emerge from a global pandemic in a world that is dominated by dictatorial authoritarian regime types and democracies that are fundamentally compromised, then we haven't just lost the battle against a virus, we have actually lost a bigger and more profound battle.

We support the @abcnews investigations team who brought to light significant #warcrimes allegations of Australian special forces in #Afghanistan. The #AFP should instead be investigating the allegations raised, not the journalists who act in the public interest #ABCraids 1/2

We congratulate @Abdulaziz_Ada, the winner of this year’s @martinennals Awards who is fighting for #Refugee rights. He brings #HumanRights answers to human wrongs. In his example we have a human face for courage. Read: ow.ly/8g2330nQTpG

Australia is having a moral awakening on refugee policy. And there is now a coalition of conscience in the parliament willing to act.
Morrison tried to run from that reality last week, but the nation will not let him hide.

When the gatekeepers of #internationaljustice fail to include women, this only empowers those who continue to seek to exclude women from decision making at all levels.
The @atlas_women & @GqualCampaign statement calling on the UNGA to reopen nominations for judges at the UN International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, to strongly encourage States to nominate qualified female candidates, and to vote taking gender parity into account.

Just now: UN comes together to show unprecedented unity around its condemnation of human rights situation in Myanmar 🇲🇲. Resolution has important focus on accountability & crimes against Rohingya. It got 142 yes votes . Compare that to last year’s vote that garnered 122 yes. – at United States

Yesterday Justice White threw out Senator Leyonhjelm’s attempt to shut down my legal action against him and ordered him to pay costs. The case will go ahead. As I said at the start, I will not be intimidated by sexist bullying & smears. I will call it out. No woman deserves it.

Immediately revisit the recent decision to return Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar to Rakhine Myanmar in mid November!!!
