To my fellow survivors, you are more than your worst moment
Advocating for changes to consent laws has allowed me to reclaim my story, and helped me find myself again - that person I lost in 2013.

The government is outsourcing its aged care reforms. KPMG evaluating the quality standards, BCG providing options for "enhanced governance." Deloitte a wage estimation tool, support for the reform AND "indep" review of same reform. And on, and on. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…

UK prime minister Boris Johnson's blaming of people smugglers sounds extraordinarily familiar to Australian ears. An examination of the facts of 🇦🇺’s asylum policies reveals a pernicious cost: legal, moral, financial but above all, human. @BenDohertyCorro
