Sue Anne Hunter - Yoorook Justice Commission//

First up, we'll hear a replay from our Dec interview with Sue-Anne Hunter who is a proud Wurundjeri and Ngurai (Nu-Ray) Illum Wurrung woman and Deputy Chair and Commissioner with the Yoorrook Justice Commission. Sue-Anne is a child and family services practitioner who has focused her career around using culture as a foundation for healing trauma and addressing the impacts of colonisation. We spoke about the The Yoorrook Justice Commission's recent investigation into the impact of the child protection and criminal justice systems on First Peoples in ''Victoria''. You can watch the public hearings that occurred from 5-16 December on the Yoorrok website. We know that this content can be distressing, so if you need someone to talk to, please contact 13YARN (13 92 76) to talk with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Crisis Supporter, available 24/7.//
