8. Carly

In this episode of There’s No Place Like Home we introduce you to Carly. A proud Wiradjuri woman, Carly is the CEO and co-founder of Deadly Connections, a not-for-profit organisation that breaks the cycle of disadvantage and trauma for First Nations people through transformative justice. In her work, Carly taps into wisdom borne of her own lived experience as a domestic and family violence survivor. And she does that work alongside the man who once perpetrated violence against her, Keenan Mundine. Together, Carly and Keenan use their experience and expertise to help other First Nations people transform their lives for the better. This is a particularly complex and nuanced episode of There’s No Place Like Home. In it, we explore a restorative justice framework and how it might offer a more responsive and fulfilling outcome for some. It’s about giving victim-survivors back their autonomy and power, when a court process might leave them feeling frustrated and out of control.In this episode we’ve been led by Carly herself. She demonstrates both remarkable empathy and distance from her own situation. Carly thinks about the violence committed against her in the context of Keenan’s childhood and intergenerational trauma.
