The first session of ACAH2022 will cover First Nations child and adolescent health. Come and hear from Aboriginal experts (all gamechangers in their own disciplines) highlight how we can improve access to high quality care for this priority population.

While COVID controversies continue, we must not forget about other crucial issues. #RaiseTheAge will stop our nation's pre-adolescent and early adolescent children being incarcerated and may help us turn a therapeutic eye to their needs. If we have the will. @AcademyCAH @TheRACP
The RACP supports raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 years of age, in line with the recommendation of 31 countries during the UN Human Rights Council universal periodic review process. smh.com.au/politics/federal/… #RaiseTheAge

Who is this “Sri Lankan” family? This media release doesn’t even afford them the respect of referring to them by name. Tharnicaa, Kopika, Priya and Nades Murugappan are real people with real trauma. Please stop using dehumanisation tactics. #hometobilo
Patrick Walker retweeted
The Academy of Child and Adolescent Health adds its voice to @TheRACP, @RANZCP, @ama_media and many other professional organisations: We call on @karenandrewsMP and @AlexHawkeMP to urgently release the Murugappan family, so they can go #HometoBiloela.
The RACP is calling on the Federal Government to urgently release the Biloela family from detention and says Australia’s detention of refugees and asylum seekers continues to fly in the face of medical advice. Read media release > racp.edu.au/news-and-events/…

The Murdoch protection racket is in full swing today for the Liberal government of South Australia. Two collapses of quarantine controls — one in Labor Victoria, another in Liberal South Australia. Spot the difference.

We just broke the record for biggest e-petition in the history of our national parliament. They hoped the people wouldn’t be interested. You proved them wrong.
We have 5 days left. Let’s push hard towards the half-million mark. #MurdochRoyalCommission aph.gov.au/petition_list?id=…

When LNP criticise universal free childcare as middle class welfare how do they explain their outrageous largesse to private schools? Or tax cuts for top end of town? Franking credits? They adore middle class welfare, as long as it does not benefit working women. #crediblewomen

Staggering that Morrison and Frydenberg would try to blame the JUNE quarter recession on Dan Andrews by claiming Victorian second wave somehow magically impacted on April, May and June economic activity, even though it didn’t happen until JULY. Libs hate taking responsibility 🤷🏼♀️

Why don't you come into my ICU and say that to the family of a patient dying from COVID-19?
This is a public health emergency, not an opportunity for cheap political point scoring.
This virus doesn't care who you vote for or what newspaper you read.

Why TF would the #dexamethasone researchers put out a PR before the paper? Sends such a crappy message even if it’s a good paper. Scientists need to grasp lack of scientific literacy and harms from scientific populism and set the tone. This is not good science comms.

We form a web of allies, of friends that we can be vulnerable with - in the real or in the virtual.
We do this by becoming vulnerable.
