Anniversaries matter deeply. Sixteen years since Kevin Rudd made the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, today we reflect on our collective efforts to close the gap. And we recommit to working towards a better future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

A Sydney woman has won a lengthy court battle to clear her name after being charged with assaulting her husband, who she claims was abusing her. Too many women across Australia are still being misidentified as the ‘predominant aggressor’ in domestic and family violence cases.
