Brooke and Matty get deep talking about incarceration of First Nation's people in Australia, Brooke talks about when she was taken from her family in 2004, Matty's experience with his mum in the justice system, and how we need to do better when it comes to the disproportionately high rates of Indigenous people in our correctional facilities. 

Nova Entertainment acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
