In this Australian of the year series, we had the opportunity to be in conversation with each of these amazing people and this story of hope, resilience and true human nature is but one of them.In this episode of Ready to Retail, we continue our ‘In Conversation’ series with Leanne Liddle, winner of the 2022 Northern Territory, Australian of the Year Award.Our 2022 NT Australian of the Year, Leanne Liddle, isn’t a stranger to racism or standing up against it. Leanne talks about fighting discrimination, the continuing work to improve our justice systems and how non-Indigenous people can build better relationships with their Indigenous counterparts.During a decade of service as the first Aboriginal policewoman in South Australia, she fought racism and discrimination in the force - and won. That victory was the spark that blazed her path in the justice sector.Australia Post is category sponsor of the Australian of the Year Award and We’re proud to partner with the National Australia Day Council and showcase the inspiring stories of remarkable everyday Australians.As always, we would love to hear from you.
