Forest defender jailed in Tasmania | Age of Criminal Reponsibility

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time may contain audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and discussion of Deaths in Custody. First up on the program, Marisa speaks with Jenny Weber, forest activist from the Bob Brown Foundation, who discusses the recent 3-month prison sentence and further 6-months suspended sentence of the first female environmental defender in Tasmania, Dr Collette Harmsen. She discusses the history of peaceful protest and its vilification by the government specifically in relation to forest defence and habitat preservation.  Next up, Marisa speaks with Cheryl Axleby (Co-Chair of Change the Record), about the age of criminal responsibility and human rights violations inflicted upon criminalised children in this country. She gives listeners a run-down on where each state and territory stands legally in regards to this issue, how our system is failing all kids and especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids, and offers alrernatives in the face of a government that - over 30 years after the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody - still refuses to commit to a safe future for our young people. Last up on the program, Marisa reads a media release from the Refugee Action Coalition: 10 Years Too (Bloody) Long! Head to www.3cr.org.au/dointime for full access to links and previous podcasts.
