Press PLAY to hear Cate McCulloch explain how Ellenbrook locals are rallying together to support the assault victim

City of Swan councillor and Ellenbrook Community Collective chair Cate McCulloch told 6PR Mornings host Simon Beaumont how the community has used social media to unite and organise a gathering in support of the victim, while others have stepped up to offer assistance to the family.

“We know social media can work for good or evil, and we are going to keep making it work for good. I think that’s what we have seen even in this tragic situation”, McCulloch said.
