Description: In April 1994 in a remote NSW town, Donna Carson was bashed, doused in petrol and set alight by her de facto partner. She suffered horrific burns to 65% of her body, and spent the next six months in hospital. On her release, she suffered secondary abuse, this time at the hands of government bureaucracy.
