Jodhi fights for children

October 24, 2004



NOT content with being a model, swimwear designer, television presenter and charity fundraiser, Jodhi Packer is adding another career to her portfolio - documentary film-maker.

Following her foray into television as presenter on a fashion show, Packer is planning a documentary on child abuse, an issue close her heart.

And given the success of US maverick Michael Moore's films, such as Bowling For Columbine which won an Oscar, Packer would like to emulate his style. "I really want to do it as a Bowling For Columbine-style doco, but I need the funding of course," Packer said.

"I want to investigate how child pornography has gone on for so long. I want to talk to everyone from John Howard down and find out if there are any policies in place."

If the Tigerlily swimwear designer sounds passionate about helping survivors of child abuse, she has good reason: someone extremely close to her was abused as a child.


"It's one of the biggest social epidemics of our time," she said. "It is a massive issue and just not enough is being done about it."

Over the past five years, Packer has forged a strong relationship with the former casting agent Liz Mullinar, who set up the 140ha Mayumarri retreat in the Hunter Valley after being abused as a child.

Mayumarri, an Aboriginal word meaning peace, provides a resource for survivors of child abuse and trauma.

Packer is working with the Mayumarri committee on their Hawaii Five-0 party in support of the retreat, planned for November 11 at Manly.
