This week we remember Fiona Richardson MP, the Victorian Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, who died of breast cancer on Wednesday. Introduced by her friend Rosie Batty, and with the blessing of her family, we revisit the story in which she revealed that her family had been subjected to shocking violence at the hands of her father. This award-winning story followed Fiona, her mother and brother as they went back to Tanzania to try to understand the enduring scars of their long-held secret. When Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews asked Fiona to become Australia's first Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, he had no idea of her troubled family history. Using her own experience, Fiona fought to raise awareness of the issue and implement changes in government policy.
