Victorian bail laws under fire as it fails to reach ‘unambitious’ targets
Victorian bail laws under fire as it fails to reach ‘unambitious’ targets Share
The Victorian government is under fire for its commitment to the new Closing the Gap Agreement after a progress report found that Australia is not on track to meet the “already unambitious” targets relating to incarceration of Aboriginal people.
Marking the fourth anniversary of Victoria’s bail laws, lawyers with the Human Rights Law Centre (HRLC) have reflected on the “devastating” effect that they have had on Aboriginal people, but particularly women, as the prison population continues to rise. Paired with an agreement last year, the government is being heavily criticised.
