Readers may remember the media release and Amnesty international (Urban Group-Hobart) action that happened on 26th April.
We had a cage with toys in it on Parliament House Lawns in Hobart, to highlight the children still in detention.
We collected 209 signatures in 2 hours to get Children out of Detention.
Yesterday 100,000 signatures were handed in to Parliament House in Canberra

Hi all,
This morning’s ‘Speak Up for kids in detention’ action handover went very well. Check out this portal page which has all the details and links to plenty of photos.

In the end the petition got over 100,000 signatures – so huge thanks to everyone who was involved. The campaign to get kids out continues with Lost Children.
Cheers,
