Margo O’Byrne is the author of a wonderful book, Left Unsaid – A triumph of sibling love over institutional care and parental neglect, published in 2009. In it and in this podcast, Margot explains how she and her brother navigated their way through traumatic childhoods, including as wards and in care, and how moving to Fremantle as young adults ultimately provided an opportunity for them to flourish. Today, Margo gives back to her community through her involvement with Tuart Place, a support and advocacy service for former care leavers – Stolen Generation, Forgotten Australians and former Child Migrants. She is a member of the WA Greens, the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) and chairperson of Fenians Fremantle and Freedom. It’s some story. Totally life affirming.
