  • Amazingly heartbreaking!

    I can’t believe that this case, like so many others, has been swept under the rug. We should all be talking about this injustice and doing something about it. Well done to all involved. Even though it was heartbreaking to listen to this is so well made.

  • Missed opportunity

    Could have been the most impactful and important podcast in recent history. Instead they stretch the story out over 6 episodes making it hard to follow and dull. 3 short sharp hard hitting episodes would have had much more effect. more

  • Biased use of statistics

    This podcast uses unconscionably biased reporting of statistics when covering Indigenous deaths in custody. It offers no meaningful point of comparison when describing the number of Indigenous deaths in custody. Indigenous people are more likely than other races to be imprisoned but are not more likely to die in custody. And, on this point, there was little attempt to seriously consider Indigenous people having any sort of agency or control over committing crimes. Why am I surprised the ABC prod... more
