The Justice Response to Sexual Violence. Special Guest: Federal Independent candidate for Groom, Suzie Holt
When Suzie Holt wins the Federal election in 2025 for the seat of Groom (come on Toowoomba... surely!), our region is in for a much needed shake up. I never put my hat in the ring for politics, but with Suzie Holt I'll make an exception. I've known Suzie for perhaps 18 years, and I can tell you she's got brains, a strong community conscience, brilliant communication skills and the warrior heart of a pioneer. The reason that I'm so confident for a win is that in the last election, before Toowoomba had much time to get to know Suzie, she came second place on two-party preference. That's truly extraordinary for a new comer! But now that Suzie has proven that she's a woman of action, I'm busting to see Toowoomba step out of the cobwebs and embrace some fresh initiative in 2025.
Now onto our podcast... 'The Justice Response to Sexual Violence.' This topic was chosen as Suzie excitedly informed me that there is currently a review happening into how our Justice channels respond to sexual violence. What is working for sexual abuse survivors, and what is not? Unfortunately the report card is not a good one, and Suzie is grabbing the opportunity to look to international justice practices (Spain!) to see alternative models we can embrace.
I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Suzie about how she came to politics, and what has fuelled the incredible fire in her belly to advocate for the community's needs. We circled through some great topics, with sexual violence reform being our punchline.
Thanks Suzie for your time, your thoughts and your passion.
Everyone... jump on Suzie's website (attached in comments) and check her out. You can't get a more determined, practical and relatable Federal candidate for our region of Groom. Grab her for a chat. She'd love that!
