Narelle Fraser Interviews

Vince Hurley had heard enough. He'd sat there in the audience of ABC's Q&A listening to politicians discussing gender based violence & reached boiling point. His 3 minute dressing down of the politicians went viral but he had facts & experience to back up what he was saying. Being a NSW Police Officer for 30yrs & a Criminology Professor, he spoke with conviction & the panel looked like deers caught in headlights. He wanted them to stop the talk & actually do something to address the issue.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kirsty Prince was working for Corrections New South Wales as a Junior Corrections Officer when she received a picture on her mobile from her supervisor of his genitalia. The picture was also sent to four children, one being 9yo. He tried the sympathy vote with "Its going to kill my wife, I've been very stressed, it was a mistake or I'll lose my job if you tell anyone". But Kirsty was having none of it. Kirsty believed she'd be supported & the matter would be investigated. It WAS investigated & somehow, Corrections NSW decided to reinstate her supervisor without ever consulting her.

Dr Paquet's Phd was in crime fiction, a natural extension of her passion for true crime which she's held since her early 20's. Dr Paquet's research includes what it is about true crime which attracts women in particular. She provides much food for thought, particularly in relation to the popularity of true crime podcasts. Dr. Paquet has published books, papers & articles about women & crime including articles such as “Seeking Justice Elsewhere: Informal and Formal Justice in the True Crime Podcasts Trace and The Teacher’s Pet.” & “Can victim-survivors of violent crimes find justice through true crime podcasts?” Hosted on Acast.

Upon his release from prison, Richard found integrating back into society difficult due to perceptions of people who'd spent time in prison. He saw ways of educating prisoners by facilitators coming into the prisons, working with the prisoners & & developing relationships with employers. He also realised lawyers have spearheaded some of the biggest social movements in the world & decided that he needed to understand law to be able to change &/or improve the system & people's biases. Its been a long road but Richard had found his niche. . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WARNING: EXPLICIT DETAIL IS DICUSSED IN THIS PODCAST
SCOTT BARRY HAWKEN was able to hide behind a Suppression Order for years but that order has now been lifted & Leanne Farrugia is determined to highlight the injustices she has faced & the battles she is still fighting. HAWKEN was found guilty at trial & incarcerated for sexual offences committed upon Leanne but how can it be fair that Leanne's Workcover payments didn't come close to her actual wage, yet HAWKEN was on full pay for years until he faced court? It just seems so terribly wrong.
