We stand alongside the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service (VALS) and 91 representatives of ACCOs, community services, family violence and legal organisations in launching an open letter advocating for Poccum’s Law.
As a collective voice, we strongly condemn the suite of knee-jerk bail law changes that will be introduced to Parliament this week. We know they will lead to greater criminalisation of Aboriginal communities and other marginalised communities. Granting bail saves lives. Any bail reform must align with, and not detract from, Poccum’s Law.
