Raise the age NT

This election, canddiates need to start listening to First Nations voices and raise the age of criminal responsibility to 14. 

Currently, in the Northern Territory, the age of criminal responsibility is twelve, however some voices are calling for kids as young as ten to be locked up. This issue is too important for politicians to use as a political football. We need to immediately raise the age of criminal responsibility to at least 14 years old.

On the 24th of August, Territorians will vote to elect their next government. We need you to tell your local candidate that Kids don’t belong in prison cells.
