In this powerful 2 part episode, I sit down with Commissioner Sue Ann Hunter, a proud Wurundjeri and Ngurai Illum Wurrung woman and commissioner at the Yoorrook Justice Commission, to discuss her multifaceted roles in advocating for child and family welfare, community representation, and systemic change, particularly focusing on the experiences and challenges of First Nations women.

This episode provides an in-depth look at the intersection of personal experience, professional expertise, and community advocacy. Sue Ann Hunter’s insights offer a compelling narrative on the importance of truth-telling, systemic reform, and the continuous fight for justice and self-determination for First Peoples.
