Kamilaroi lawyer Louise Taylor joins Amy McQuire on the programme to discuss the different ways the justice system treats Aboriginal victims, following on from the tragic case of Lynette Daley. You can find out more about Lynette’s story here at the Four Corners website.
Louise also discusses the complexities behind family violence in Aboriginal communities, how these nuances are ill-served by the media, and how mainstream feminism has to learn to interact with the the other factors that further impact Aboriginal women particularly. We also discuss the child protection system, and how the deep rivers of trauma that still run through our communities, has to be healed in order to move forward.
