24.01.2022 Our thoughts are with the loved ones of Hannah Clarke and her three beautiful children - Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey - who will be laid to rest in Brisbane today Last Friday at our IWD Luncheon, Chair Vicki Tiegs dedicated her speech to remembering the lives of Hannah and her children, and had this powerful message for us all: "Lets not mention the names of the people who perpetrated these unspeakable acts.
