It's the story that has rocked Australia. A five-year-old girl disappeared from a town camp, sparking a desperate five-day search that ended in heartbreak.
As her family enters a period of deep sorry business in Central Australia, the nation is left grappling with the horrific circumstances surrounding her death. A 47-year-old man has been charged with her murder, while Alice Springs has been pushed to breaking point.
Today, we speak with Catherine Liddle, Arrernte and Luritja woman and CEO of SNAICC, to move past the headlines. We discuss the legacy of this little girl, the reality of life in the town camps, and why her family is pleading with politicians not to turn this tragedy into a political football.
