Donna Adams – the girl who became Tasmania’s first female police commissioner

From the podcast Fierce Girls

·10:00

When Donna started working as a police officer, her station didn't even have women's toilets. Now, she runs the whole force!

How did one of the very few women in Tasmania Police end up leading the most gender-equal police force in Australia? Donna showed grit, compassion and strength in the face of the state's toughest tragedy, the Port Arthur Massacre.

Narrated by 10-year-old Olivia Lai.
