Was Ned Kelly's sentence fair? What sentence would he receive if he was alive today? What will the justice system look like in the future?

If these are questions that you want to answer then this is the trail for you.

We'll do some surveying, We'll be going to the **police museum** to discover more about the Ned Kelly case files and we'll finally go to the **Old Melbourne Gaol** to compare crimes and punishment of yesteryear and see how they compare to today...

Those who uphold justice

Our trail today takes us to meet with those people & places who work to uphold justice. We will see court cases in action at the Magistrates Court. Meet with an experienced criminal lawyer, survey people on the street and hear from a police officer.

** Justice Systems ** We will be examining the different ways in which justice is administered in Melbourne. There will be a visit to the courts, a meeting with a lawyer for the Government, chats with Myki ticket inspectors, Melbourne police and an opportunity to question how effectively government and legal systems ensure Melbourne's fairness.

** Prisoner's Dilemma ** Are prisons more hassle than they are worth? Should we reinstate the death penalty? Do we treat our prisoners far too well, or perhaps not well enough? Does the Australian legal system treat all its citizens the same? If these are questions that you want to answer then this is the trail for you. We will find out what the people of Melbourne think of these topics, we’ll talk to an independent person who supports people in police custody, we’ll then visit a prison guard for his views on the prison system. Finally, we’ll visit the magistrate’s court to assess the cases and work out whether the sentences handed down are fair and just. Learning goals: Justice and the Law, empathy, social awareness, interviewing, creating and asking questions

** Seeking asylum at any cost **

What causes people to leave behind everything that they know - family, friends, possessions and careers - in the quest for safe haven in a foreign land?

What is our responsibility as a society to these people? What is a just response?

Tomorrow we will be exploring the attitudes, policies and community responses to the issue of asylum seekers and refugees in Australia. In the morning we will do a workshop at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre in West Melbourne, followed by an inquiry into the attitudes of the local community and the media. The afternoon will be spent with members of the Refugee Action Collective - looking at strategies for community action and developing some new skills in activism.

The Old Melbourne Gaol

When the Old Melbourne Gaol as built in the mid-1800s, it dominated the Melbourne skyline as a symbol of authority. Inside the Gaol, dangerous criminals were held alongside petty offenders, the homeless and the mentally ill. Between 1842 and its closure in 1929 the gaol was the scene of 133 hangings including Australia's most infamous citizen, the bushranger [|Ned Kelly]. But was this a place of justice? What were the legal and penal systems like for our city in its infancy, struggling to cope with the influx of people seeking their golden fortune? Find out for yourself this Wednesday.

__**Social Activism Trail**__

Do we live in the perfect world? How could things be better? What are Melbournians doing to tackle the big, controversial issues? Today we will visit the AYCC to see how young people (you!) are working to get Australians tackling climate change, and visit sites in the city famous for protests and other forms of activism. We will also hear from the group Equal Love who are part of a huge campaign to make gay marriage legal in Australia. So is Uni High really a fair and just place? This might be the spark to get some positive change happening in our own community too...
