She was funny. She was feisty. She was fierce. An adventurer, a generous soul, a dreamer. She was the heart and soul of her family. In those last months, she was sad. Her eyes had lost that special sparkle and her fierceness was tempered by a dreadful knowing. Her name is Haley Elizabeth Maureen Allison. She was only 26. She left him. He killed her. The legal system betrayed her. Haley's mum Shelley and her aunt Laura remember their beautiful Haley and talk about how the system continues to traumatise them. This episode discusses domestic violence and murder. It is not for children.
This is Haley's story.
This season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms.

Women in Australia retire with 23% less super than men — a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be complex, and many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a system not built with us in mind. That’s why Verve created a community for women, men and non-binary people who believe in closing the super gap.
