This week, we meet a woman who has spent her adult life advocating for social justice. Kedy Kristal has worked in the area of family and domestic violence for more than thirty years.

Kedy Kristal is a Justice of the Peace working voluntarily in the Magistrate’s Court hearing Family Violence Restraining Orders and is an independent prison visitor to Boronia Pre-release Centre.

Kedy Kristal was an inaugural inductee to the WA Women’s Hall of Fame in 2011. This is her story.

And a heads-up … there are issues of violence and assault discussed in this episode.

Marg Agnew grew up in rural Victoria, relishing life on the family orchard before moving to Western Australia for a new life in broadacre farming.  Overcoming challenges of the conditions of the 1980s  – environmental and economic – led to a full life on and off the land.

Agnew assisted in establishing the Neridup Soil Conservation Group in 1989, created the Rural Remote and Regional Women’s Network for WA and played an important role on more than 20 organisations at a local, state and national level. Agnew was often the first woman on some of those committees.

In this episode of HERSTORY on RTRFM, 2020 WAWHOF inductee Marg Agnew speaks to Taylah Strano about her life long love of the land, farming challenges and her commitment to sustainability.
