‘I’ve got my daughter, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy since birth and my boy, who is 13 years old. He just returned from the boarding school because he was too homesick. He was selected to go Brisbane Boys’ College, but he said “Mum don’t leave me here.” I gotta go back home, so if someone was there to take care of my girl for me, I would have stayed behind for my son to get a better education and to understand what it is like outside of here. There’s a big world out there.’
