from Motherland Australia · host Stephanie Trethewey
In 1959 Pat Fennell (OAM) moved to a remote property that was bought by her husband's family under a ballot system after the first world war; they had just 20 quid in their pocket. Pat is an incredible woman so strap yourself in! She's been a disgraced divorcee in an era of inequality for women, a single mum, a working mum, a fierce advocate for the live export industry and for remote health.
