MobTalk x Lilli Ireland, Palawa women studying Law at the Australian National University.

Lily yarns about her journey to become a Law student at ANU and how they have helped shape the person she is today with an overwhelming amount of support from Aboriginal elders within ANU. Lily and I yarn about her interpretations of the Constitution in modern day society and how so - called Australia is still being colonised. Lily yarns about the amount of strength that is held by our people and how Lily has hopes to make a change and help our people in the justice system. In Lily's words, with the First peoples of the continent being amongst the most incarcerated in the world (proportionally), the more of our people that aren't stuck in the justice system ,the more of our people you have out there that know how to care for country.
