People facing homelessness are often forced to live their lives in public spaces, and it's likely that they will be disproportionately affected by laws governing who they associate with.

Freedom of association and movement are enshrined in Victoria's Charter of Human Rights, and laws like those proposed could run counter to those rights. https://t.co/0tpmPmJo0z

This is a happy development. Well done @cityofmelbourne, and to @Justice_Connect for their tireless efforts to create laws that do not punish homelessness. https://t.co/R8fB5kOIRg

I spent yesterday meeting lawyers and healthcare workers at @Justice_Connect and @cohealth_au who see #elderabuse happening every day. We must look at the larger causes of this complex issue, perhaps starting with bad lenders. #WEAAD2018 https://t.co/7zEIVTVT8u

Without healthcare and justice workers operating in the community, elder abuse can far too easily go unnoticed

Preventing elder abuse requires a combination of providing the services older people need, as well as addressing systemic causes, which are often linked to questions of homelessness and other disadvantage

It’s been inspiring to hear from healthcare workers and lawyers focused on preventing elder abuse. https://t.co/65VWnAbEM9

It's Reconciliation Week this week - a perfect opportunity for all of us to consider what we don't know about Australian history. #NRW2018 @RecAustralia https://t.co/hdMVkTglKg
