Something To Talk About

How Rosie Batty found hope again


Listen Later

Ten years after her son Luke Batty was murdered by his father, Rosie Batty continues her tireless campaign to raise awareness about domestic and family violence. But perhaps even more remarkably, she has managed to find hope in the aftermath of such an unimaginable tragedy. 

On today’s episode of Something To Talk About, Rosie sits down for a powerful conversation in which she reflects on the complexities of grief, as well as her memories of Luke, the beloved son she lost when he was aged just 11. She also speaks about what needs to be done in bringing an end to domestic and family violence in Australia, and explains how she was able to rediscover hope - even joy - after enduring the worst day of her life.

If you have experienced or at risk of family violence, you can call the national counselling service 1800RESPECT.

Rosie’s new memoir 'Hope', is available to pre-order now, and will be in bookstores on April 3, 2024.
