Hannah’s Story

PODCAST: NARRATIVE/DOCUMENTARY PODCAST

Hannah’s Story was presented by 9News Queensland’s Melissa Downes, produced by 9News Queensland’s Jess Lodge, and with sound design by 9Podcast’s Adam Buncher. The podcast has become an essential tool in educational programs on coercive control and integrated into initiatives by both the Queensland Police and Victoria Police. Hannah’s parents, Sue and Lloyd Clarke, in their advocacy through Small Steps 4 Hannah saw the historic passing of “Hannah’s Law” on March 6 2024, which criminalised coercive control in Queensland.

Lodge and Downes said:

“We are so proud to see Hannah’s Story recognised on the global stage. Our deepest thanks go to Hannah’s parents Sue and Lloyd, brother Nathanial, friends and all those who contributed to this podcast. To have this incredibly important story reaching an international audience is a credit to their courage and commitment to creating change and saving lives.”
