    Hi Jessica,
    This is an amazing set of resources, thank you. I’ve written to Pete Penn asking if there’s going to be a transcript of Tim Costello’s presentation on 10 November.

    I wonder also if you’d like to broaden the emphasis on your website to “Kids Off Everyone Off.” Everyone (for example Gillian Triggs, and UNHCR) is saying that Everyone Off is important, and that the focus on Kids Off is because this is easier for the general public to understand. However, the risk is that once the children are off, the others get forgotten. Could one of the Kids Off resources be amended so it’s about Everyone Off? Thanks again for your great work, Rebecca Bishop
