Eighteen years ago, Kevin Rudd apologised to the Stolen Generations and said those injustices must never happen again. But in that same year, Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts was taken from her family at just 10 years old. Now, as a lawyer and advocate, she says Australia is still taking First Nations children from their families – and that the number in out-of-home care is today higher than the estimated number removed during the Stolen Generations. Today, Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts on her own removal, the pipeline from child protection to prison, and what it would take to keep First Nations children with their families and communities.
