At 3am on Sunday 23 March, police were notified of the disappearance of a 19-year-old woman last seen in Erina on the NSW Central Coast.

The next day in the afternoon, police found the body of Audrey Griffin in a creek in Erina.

At the time, police said the death was not suspicious.

But yesterday a 53-year-old man was arrested in Surry Hills, Sydney, and charged with murder in relation to the woman's death.

Anti-violence activist Sherele Moody is an award-winning journalist, femicide and child death researcher and the creator of Australia's only memorial to women and children lost to violence. Her projects include Australian Femicide Watch, The RED HEART Campaign and the ground-breaking Australian Femicide and Child Death Map. Sherele has been documenting the killing of women and children since 2015 and her work has been recognised with multiple awards.

Another week another woman murdered.

Her mission is to educate and advocate - Welcome to The RED HEART Campaign’s Memorial to Women and Children Lost to Violence.

This Memorial is designed to commemorate lives lost while providing a respectful interactive forum highlighting the impact of violence on our community.

It tracks every known Australian woman and child killed as a result of murder, manslaughter or neglect.

This is an ongoing project, with no start or end date. The intention is to continue documenting violent deaths from white Settlement to current day.

I respectfully advise that the Memorial contains descriptions of extreme acts of terrorism against women and children and may cause distress.

The Memorial also holds the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children lost to violence and (in limited cases) some of these victims are named and their images are used.

This project is inspired by the memories of nine-year-old Stacey-Ann Tracy and five-year-old Sandra Dorothy Bacon. It is a tribute to their young lives, their unfulfilled futures and the bravery of their families and friends who were forced to navigate the distress and darkness that only those touched by murder can understand.

This project is also a pledge to every Australian woman and child lost to violence – our nation cannot change your stories, but collectively, we can change the stories of those who follow in your footsteps.

After violence, hope is all that remains.

This podcast includes material that some listeners may find distressing.

As the much loved footy Season looms with the excitement of packed stadiums team scarves and hot meat pies it’s the players the teams that thrill us the most !

So we’re excited to welcome a major footy legend to the Pod winning countless awards includingthe Brownlow Medal, Norm Smith Medal, Carji Greeves Medal and Leigh Matthews Trophy ·

An exceptionally skilled footballer, now director of football at Carlton Diesel Greg Williams - Greg would later become one of the highest-paid player in the AFL.

However, as a child in suburban Melbourne, any future sporting career looked impossible. At two-and-a-half years old, Williams' parents, Brenda and Leigh, sought medical opinion on his severely knocked knees. As a result, he wore full-length callipers on both legs until he started school.

The intervention worked, and it was only a short time before he began showing significant sporting promise. His football prowess came to the fore when the family moved to Bendigo, and he developed his game with the Golden Square Football Club. As part of the VFL's country zoning scheme, Bendigo belonged to Carlton, and after training with the club in the pre-season of 1982, he returned home with an official letter stating that h
