My memoir
A LONG WAY FROM NO GO
Written with journalist Julie Szego, this is my story of life growing up in western Queensland being sent to Catholic Boarding school where I was abused despite my parents paying for my education at that place. In the book I shine a light on public policy and the political activism I was involved in during the 1970's to the 1990's and my eventual career in academia and the public sector fighting for our rights through education at tertiary institutions. its a reflection on the Royal Commission into Institutional Abuse, my own life and in particular how it is possible to recover from generational trauma, abuse and dependency. .
