Nevena and Osman talk to Dechlan Brennan, a freelance writer advocating for mental health and welfare reforms in Australia. Originally from Perth, Dechlan is now based in Melbourne and studying international relations at Macquarie University.

Victoria Police has paid out more than $46 million in civil litigation settlements over five years while simultaneously advocating for stronger powers.
Between 2020 and April this year, Victoria Police paid out $46.5 million in civil litigation financial settlements, data obtained by National Indigenous Times has revealed, as several organisations have complained about over-policing and alleged misconduct.
The figures, which Victoria Police provided when requested, include no comment or reasoning behind the individual payouts. National Indigenous Times is not suggesting that all of the payouts are admissions by Victoria Police of guilt or wrongdoing.
