“The Whistleblower” narrated by comedian Chris Ryan is out now on Spotify or via the link in bio. This story is one of immense courage and worth a listen.

Words by Chris Ryan on why she chose to be part of the No Laughing Matter podcast:

“Dorothy showed such courage in telling her story, I just tried to be strong enough to do it justice when reading it out for No Laughing Matter. I’m so glad that Dorothy and many more Australians affected by in**st have taken the step of speaking out. We can’t fix what we cannot talk about. It was an honour to be trusted to share Dorothy and her step-granddaughter’s story. I hope they know the love and respect I have for them and I hope more people turn towards these stories to help shine a light on what has previously been hidden.” - Chris Ryan

Chris Ryan’s hard truths and relatable cynicism, paired with a raw, genuine vulnerability, have become her signature take on the hilarious absurdities of life.  She regularly performs at clubs, festivals and corporate gigs and in 2026, toured her fifth solo show Extreme Tenant, across Australia.

One film. Five survivor stories. One important conversation.

At the heart of this special evening in Brisbane is the 16th Australian screening of the internationally acclaimed French documentary Such A Resounding Silence - a deeply moving film that tells the stories of five survivors of non-consensual in**st and explores the profound impact of childhood sexual abuse.

While the subject matter is confronting, the film also offers something incredibly important: hope, courage and the possibility of healing.

Following the screening, we will be joined by a highly regarded panel featuring two extraordinary survivors of intra-familial child sexual abuse, Dr Jeni Haynes and Dr Maggie Bell, both of whom have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

They will be joined by their respective therapists, Dr George Blair-West and Dr Jan Ewing, bringing together lived experience and clinical expertise in what promises to be a deeply insightful conversation.

Together, the panel will consider a number of questions including:

What would it take to truly address in**st in Australia?

Not only how we better support survivors, but how we begin addressing in**st at its roots - through prevention, education and meaningful systemic change.

We invite parents, teachers, survivors, psychologists, social justice advocates, government representatives and anyone who cares about protecting children and creating a safer future to join us in Brisbane.

One night only. One film. One important conversation.

CorriLee Foundation and No Laughing Matter are incredibly humbled and honored to have Wendy Sharpe donate one of her artworks for our upcoming event this Thursday. Wendy Sharpe AM is one of Australia’s most acclaimed and awarded artists and she has generously supported our events as we continue to raise awareness about intrafamilial childhood sexual abuse (in**st). In all the years Wendy Sharpe has been donating her outstanding artwork, not once have I ever asked - she has always offered.
What a kind and caring human she is!
And this occasion is no different. Thank you Wen!!

Wendy has won an extensive list of prizes, residencies and scholarships including: winning the Archibald Prize, the Sulman Prize, the Portia Geach Memorial Award, the Gold Award and many more. She has had many international artists residencies and commissions including Australian War Memorial as an Official War Artist, the first woman since WWII, and she has painted many major public murals. In 2024 Wendy had a major solo exhibition “Spellbound” at the Art Gallery of NSW and has held over 70 solo exhibitions around Australia and internationally including exhibitions in Berlin, Paris, China and UK.

This artwork titled “Landscape with bees” will be auctioned at our event this Thursday in Woollahra.
