Here are some key takeaways from this episode:

The Sewell Report didn’t meet expectations

“it’s clear to me that this report had a lot of expectations placed upon it before it was published and now that it’s been published well let’s just say it didn’t live up to expectations.”

There are several reasons to critique the report beyond the Lived Experience

“I thought these would be discussed in detail given what the report described as traumatic loss of lives and mistreatment of fellow citizens, it didn’t”

There was a huge missed opportunity
