  • Formidable strength

    This podcast illustrates formidable strength from Albie, Jason, Rob and April. Thank you for speaking your truth. The Crown has behaved disgracefully then and now. It is true, the Crown created that nightmare reality for thousands of tamariki and then punished them for it again and again. I’m so sorry this happened, and is still happening to tamariki in custody.
