A young woman who said she was abused in a children’s home and ended up homeless at 13, has said her story is not unique among care leavers.
So brave @Kerrie26906158 and @Gerribird thanks for speaking out.

I was stuck in Sidney St on a no 2 bus for over half an hour on Saturday evening. The traffic leaving the city centre was just not moving.

Enough!
It is just horror after horror after horror.
Remember these precious and beautiful lives. They are human beings with names and faces. And they are being indiscriminately slaughtered.
What unconscionable inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.
