TAFE Queensland graduate Jessica Addo wants to break down barriers to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children experience positive learning environments.

Christine Rhazi, Caritas Australia First Australians Programs Associate Director, talking about how Australians want to see more government support for the Stolen Generations.
