HEADLINES: Craig Silvey Enters Child Exploitation Plea & Blake Lively Settles Legal Drama

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised this episode contains descriptions of an Indigenous person who has died.

It's the story that has rocked Australia. A five-year-old girl disappeared from a town camp, sparking a desperate five-day search that ended in heartbreak.

As her family enters a period of deep sorry business in Central Australia, the nation is left grappling with the horrific circumstances surrounding her death. A 47-year-old man has been charged with her murder, while Alice Springs has been pushed to breaking point.

Today, we speak with Catherine Liddle, Arrernte and Luritja woman and CEO of SNAICC, to move past the headlines. We discuss the legacy of this little girl, the reality of life in the town camps, and why her family is pleading with politicians not to turn this tragedy into a political football.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Britney Spears has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge ending her DUI case
The Reserve Bank is expected to raise interest rates today
Rudy Giuliani is reportedly on ventilation after contracting pneumonia, his lungs damaged after the September 11 attack
Princess Eugenie is expecting her third baby as Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden welcome their third child Nautus
