"We Need To Talk About Aboriginal Culture" | Freya Leach

Sharon Granites was five years old. She had six child protection notices against her name, a violent offender in her midst, and not one system designed to protect her did its job. In this video, Freya breaks down how a little girl's death in Alice Springs has exposed the uncomfortable truths Australia refuses to say out loud — the dysfunction in town camps, the failures of child protection, and why calling for accountability keeps getting mistaken for racism.
