    This Friday is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. No one should have to spend their golden years in fear and shame. Every day we’re working within communities to identify, prevent and end elder abuse. No one deserves abuse.

    In our work we see too many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people facing the sharp edge of harsh and unfair laws. Reconciliation is just one step towards addressing the injustices First Australians face, but it's an important one.

    More than 2000 Victorians have been evicted from public housing since 2010. In 2013-14, it was one person per day. This is a certain path into homelessness and more needs to be done to make these evictions a last resort
