I am a teacher in a low socio-economic area, and a higher than average percentage of our students are Indigenous Australians or come from non-English speaking backgrounds. I am passionate about protecting these kids, as they have so much energy, talent and love to offer. It breaks my heart to see so many young people beaten down and destroyed by stupidity and ignorance. I will fight with every last breath in me to achieve an equitable and peaceful society in this country, as long as there are people out there who believe in human rights, we will get there.
