Sarah Monahan: ‘I'm Moving Back To Australia'

After Living Overseas For 20 Years, The Tv Star Is Finally Ready To Come Home.

Feisty Hey Dad..! whistleblower Sarah Monahan has finally made peace with her troubled past and is ready to move home to Australia after 20 years.

“I miss my brother, niece and nephews,” says Sarah, who endured 17 years of silent torment before bravely stepping forward to accuse her on-screen father – actor Robert Hughes – of sexually abusing her behind the scenes of Australia’s favourite sitcom.

“I miss the Aussie lifestyle and the food,” adds the pintsized battler and former child star, now aged 42, and currently living on a boat in Florida with her American husband, cybersecurity professional Matt Morris.

“Although I lost a few people when I spoke out about what happened on Hey Dad..! I made an exceptional group of new friends through all that. I’d like to spend time with them, not occasionally hang out with them on visits – so I’d really like someone to give me a job back in Australia!

“I’d love to be a talking head on TV, that would be a dream job because I’m not scared to say what I think, and of course I still want to do advocacy work for child abuse victims.”
