Transcribe →Dr Vince Hurley - Speaking out on ABC's Q&A for Domestic Violence survivors
Mar 3101:06:51Tap to summarizeVince Hurley had heard enough. He'd sat there in the audience of ABC's Q&A listening to politicians discussing gender based violence & reached boiling point.

Being a NSW Police Officer for 30yrs & a Criminology Professor, he spoke with conviction & the panel looked like deers caught in headlights. He wanted them to stop the talk & actually do something to address the issue.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Transcribe →Richard Brooking - Lawbreaker to Lawyer
Feb 1701:03:17Tap to summarizeUpon his release from prison, Richard found integrating back into society difficult due to perceptions of people who'd spent time in prison. He saw ways of educating prisoners by facilitators coming into the prisons, working with the prisoners & & developing relationships with employers. He also realised lawyers have spearheaded some of the biggest social movements in the world & decided that he needed to understand law to be able to change &/or improve the system & people's biases. Its been a long road but Richard had found his niche. . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
