#ReformCAC

The Conduct After Capture Course breaches human rights, inflicts torture, and facilitates sexual assault. It needs reform and I want you to help me make this a reality.

Click the button below to learn more about this course and how we can begin to change it.

Due to a Suppression order by the Commonwealth of Australia in the Federal Court case de Pyle VS Commonwealth of Australia, most sections of the #ReformCAC part of this page are temporarily suspended. Apologies for the inconvience.
