Peter O’Brien interviewed about Dylan Voller on 60 Minutes

Dylan Voller on 60 Minutes

Last night, Dylan Voller was interviewed on Channel Nine’s 60 Minutes program. He spoke bravely about his past, the psychological impact of his detention and his hopes for the future.

Peter O’Brien, Dylan Voller’s lawyer, also appeared on the program. He spoke about Dylan and the toxic environment of the youth detention centre where he was held. Notably, saying it “wasn’t the type of system that was going to make a young boy a good man”.

As a firm, we continue to be proud of Dylan’s courage. Going forward, we also hope that his story can help make a positive change to our criminal justice system.
