AFL executive Tanya Hosch gave a spirited speech “on one leg”, saying a Voice to parliament would improve the experience of Indigenous people in the health system.
revealed she had part of her lower leg amputated two weeks ago and was released from hospital on Tuesday, just a day before she gave an impassioned speech at the launch of the Voice campaign in Adelaide.
“A little over two weeks ago, I had my lower right leg amputated and so having left the hospital … only yesterday, I’m standing here on one leg today.” “I have type two diabetes and I contracted a related disease that I have battled for three years and across six surgeries trying to avoid the loss of my limb.”
“This is all the No case offers. It leaves things as they are and that is just not acceptable. We can close gaps and make better policies by giving communities a voice, by doing something simple, by listening to the voices of communities who know the problems they face and the solutions they need.”
