As I get older I get more Brave-It’s my time to Rebel!

As I get older I get more Brave-It’s my time to Rebel!

Audrey Cooke, originally from Singapore, and in Australia now for 50 years, is a social justice dynamo! She is the personification of having the courage of one's convictions. Whether taking action to oppose the building of the Adani Mine, or advocating for the rights of refugee children in detention, her passion and humour are infectious. Every other phrase from Audrey is steely determination with an impish chuckle, : "This granny is not ashamed to put herself out there", "It's my time to Rebel!", "Im' gearing up to go out again and put my body on the line", "instead of knitting and watching a soapy (soap opera), I go out and do things that benefit others".  Audrey has a message for each and every one of us, and I know you are going to feel as uplifted by her perseverance and vision as I did at the end of this conversation!
