Children belong in playgrounds and classrooms, and not behind bars or in courtrooms.
Thanks to the @actgreens, Canberra will be the first jurisdiction in Australia to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility to 14 — in line with the international standard — to protect little children from the harms of prison and the criminal justice system.
The ACT shows that this can be done. Let’s get it done in Victoria too.
More Greens in parliament will push the next government to protect children by raising the age.
