From the childcare scandal to regressive ‘tough on crime’ policies, Australia is failing to protect its children | Anne Hollonds There is an urgent need to make child safety, rights and wellbeing a national priority and to fix the accountability gaps putting them at risk Looking back at the past five years since I began in the role of national children’s commissioner, I am struck by how difficult it has been throughout this time to get political attention on the unmet needs of our most vulnerable children, who continue to be “left behind”.

Guterres calls for linking Gaza with West Bank, says forces deployed must have UN mandate UN chief calls for linking Gaza with West Bank, says forces deployed must have UN mandate United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday called for linking Gaza and the West Bank, adding that any force deployed in Gaza must have a UN mandate. "We are actively involved in ensuring that aid provided to the residents of the Gaza Strip is increased. We strongly support the need for the ceasefire agreement in Gaza to hold and the need to link Gaza and the West Bank," he said.  "The Security Council is discussing the draft resolution submitted by the United States regarding the force to be deployed in Gaza," he added.  The comments come as the UN secretary general’s deputy spokesperson confirmed that 81 percent of the enclave’s structures have suffered destruction, underscoring the catastrophic scale of Israel’s assault on the enclave, which has been recognised as a genocide by the UN.
