Stop children being arrested, charged, hauled before courts and imprisoned as adults! Join the campaign

from Think Again · host Jacques with Mililma May

It's a national disgrace and a tragedy that children across the country as young as 10 continue to be arrested, charged, and hauled before the courts, and are locked up in police and prison cells.And amongst all the rhetoric about 'closing the gap', Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are 29 times more likely to be growing up behind bars than other children in Australia. The systemic, policy, relational and everyday racism underpinning this couldn't be clearer.Mililma May from Change the Record talks with Jacques about a campaign to change this situation, which listeners can support: Raise the Age Change the Record links:Website: https://www.changetherecord.org.au/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changetherecord_/Other sources named in the show:Amber Hayward and Lilly Hayward: https://nit.com.au/22-04-2025/17528/noongar-advocates-take-powerful-message-to-the-united-nationsThe Disappeared Project: https://thedisappearedproject.com/
