The Wright family continue their mother’s fight for justice by giving evidence to the Yoorrook Justice Commission
“When our grandmother came home, she said her house was burnt down and she didn’t know where her children were.”
Sisters Aunty Donna and Aunty Tina Wright, and Aunty Joanne Farrant, with support from their brother Sonny Wright, shared their family’s truth with the Yoorrook Justice Commission in an on-Country hearing.
Their evidence was played at a Yoorrook hearing investigating Victoria’s child protection system.
