  • Hots are biased

    I think the boats are fairly biased even though they try to sound like they aren’t

    But when u listen , u know which side they are leaning towards which is frustrating

    I also think they are borderline racist from the way they talk about the case in Tokyo ( even commenting on building is unremarkable… not sure why it’s that important )

    And during the case of mushroom , they would mention about the Asian supermarket which while it’s proven false but they seem to keep bringing it up and play on th... more

  • Gone off the rails

    This was a really insightful concept at first. The cases were interesting and the detail around court proceedings & processes was so well presented. You could tell there was a lot of care taken to present information in a balanced way. The Kumanjayi Walker series is a serious departure from this. The bias and focus is so cringeworthy it’s hard to listen to. May aswell change the show name to ‘one-eyed social justice warriors’

  • Disappointed

    I have loved this podcast during the Erin Patterson trial and the following cases. That is, until I started listening the Kumunjai Walker episodes. There is blatant bias with the reporting/recording of this matter. Painting Walker as a hard done by member of the community is in stark contrast to his actual criminal offending and dismisses the role of police. It’s little wonder there’s no progress in building relationships between police and aboriginal communities when matters such as this are be... more
