With special guest: Mark Tedeschi KC AM… in conversation with Bill Kable Our guest today is the well-known former Crown Prosecutor for New South Wales and author of Murder at Myall Creek, Mark Tedeschi. Mark has written a deeply moving account of the massacre of 28 Aboriginal men, women and children in 1838 which led to a trial that defined the nation of Australia. If the law of the land in Australia was to have any credibility, if the principle is that we are all equal before the law, then this is a watershed case. At the time of the massacre it was only 50 years since Captain Arthur Phillip and his first fleet arrived in Australia yet the inhabitants of the country for the previous 60,000 years were under threat of genocide from the new arrivals. There were many in the community who were sympathetic to all Aboriginal killers and this was expressed in the editorials of the major newspapers such as The Sydney Herald (before it added “Morning” to its masthead). Against this background there were some heroes that stood up against the general view of the free settlers, the squatters, the military, the emancipists, the newspapers and even the convict population which still amounted to 36% of the population. Principal among these was John H Plunkett who as Attorney-General at the time had the duty to prosecute the eleven convicts and former convicts who were put on trial for murder. Podcast (mp3)

A case that beggars belief. How does a detective cope with such a scene, and complete an investigation when having to take it all in? On September 2nd, 2001, a father murdered his three children. Jackson, six years old, Taylah, 11 months, and Mikaylah, 11 weeks. Still to this day, police don't have a motive. But what did the investigation look like, and how does a detective cope? Former Detective Carla Tomadini is an example of exceptional police work, and someone who deserves the recognition she's received. Now lecturing at Charles Sturt University, Carla spent nearly two decades in the police before moving into the DPP as a solicitor.  Her career is immense, and one host Brent Sanders goes through in intricate detail.  If this content affected you, the number for Lifeline is 13 11 14. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our talk is meant to help people understand the Canadian Bail System better and to explain the newest changes to the system that the government is proposing. We also hope to provoke a discussion as to whether, when we tinker with these systems, we are really achieving the intended goals. Will the public really be safer? Are the proposed changes going to make a real difference in terms of public safety? Will there be other ramifications that might be unfortunate from a public policy perspective? Speaker: Ingrid Hess and James Rouleau Moderator: Violet Meekma Ingrid Hess is a Lethbridge lawyer. She grew up on a farm in the Sunnyside area, between Lethbridge and Coaldale. She is a first generation Canadian born to a mother from the Netherlands and a father from Germany. She left the area at 19 to study at UBC and later to go on adventures around the world, living in Germany, Japan, Toronto and Montreal during her twenties. Ingrid came home to Canada to study law at the University of Calgary with the dream of doing International Human Rights law, concluding her legal studies in the Netherlands at the University of Leiden. But the draw to home was strong and once she started a family, she decided to postpone her dream. She has three sons whom she raised as a single parent. They are all now grown up. Ingrid has practiced law in Lethbridge for 28 years, focused primarily on criminal defense work. Her most important and memorable cases involved representing people with serious intellectual disabilities in criminal cases. Her career took a detour for 7 years while she represented over 350 claimants from across Canada in the Residential School lawsuit claims process. In that process Residential School survivors participated in hearings to determine the appropriate compensation for the abuse they experienced and the harms they suffered. This work took Ingrid across Canada, including Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. This experience has shaped her as a lawyer and a human in many ways for which she is extremely grateful. In her free time Ingrid gardens, knits, walks her dog and cooks. James Rouleau is a Crown Prosecutor.

Judge sentences B.C. teen Amanda Todd's online tormentor to 13 years in prison. Sandy Garossino, Former Crown prosecutor and Columnist with the National Observer reacts to the sentencing

In this series I am meeting people who have changed direction in life. Then asking them if they could go back in time and meet their younger self, when would they go back to and what would they say. In my first episode I go off to meet Conrad Yates. Conrad was a crown prosecutor (prosecuted people in court on behalf of the government) and has now left that role. Through maybe design or accident or a mixture of both he has become a Land Rover influencer; digital creator and defender restorer. Following his life long love of Land Rover defenders he has a loyal following of like minded devotees of all things Defender. Maybe he's a tribal leader but what got him from being a Crown Prosecutor to fixing up these 4 wheel objects of desire? We then ask him too join us on our time machine and take us back to a moment in his life. And we discover what he would say to himself. It's definitely worth listening to. Also if you're a Defender lover tell me the defender type by the sounds it makes?

A senior barrister and former crown prosecutor says unless this month's budget contains new funding for the legal aid system, it is is danger of collapse. Hourly rates for legal aid work haven't changed since 2008 and are around half what a Crown Prosecutor or independent counsel receives. As a result there has been an exodus of lawyers willing and able to offer legal aid. The Law Society commissioned an independent report by Colmar Brunton last year, which surveyed nearly 3000 lawyers on access to justice. Three quarters of the legal aid lawyers who participated said they had to turn away people seeking legal assistance because they didn't have the time to take on the client, or because their firm had reached the maximum amount of legal aid clients it could afford. A quarter of legal aid lawyers said they intend to stop in the coming year. Tiana Epati is a barrister, former crown prosecutor and as immediate past president of the Law Society, commissioned the Colmar Brunton research. She holds grave fears for the legal system if the budget later this month doesn't include a funding boost for legal aid.

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.  But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”  But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.” Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.” (Luke 22:31-34)   Here again is Satan, showing up at the opportune time.  But notice something curious: Satan has to ask permission to do what he does.  It's reminiscent of the opening scene of the book of Job where Satan is a member of God's royal court who holds the role of accuser (which is what the title “Satan” means in Hebrew).  You could think of Satan as the Crown Prosecutor.  And this prosecutor wants authority from the Crown to investigate the faith of Jesus disciples.  This very much is the Old Testament view of who “the Satan” is.  Of course, in New Testament accounts of “the Satan,” we realize that this particular prosecutor does not necessarily have the cause of justice in mind.  He doesn't just want to investigate, he wants to sift the disciples like wheat: perhaps engage in less-than-noble schemes of entrapment, coercion, and other forms of temptation.  In other words, he is the spiritual embodiment of evil and lies.  He doesn't merely want to discover whether or not the disciples are unfaithful, he would like to ensure that they are.  But he still has to ask permission from the crown.  And that finally confirms again that God, while not sparing us from the evil and temptations of this world, is still finally in control.  And while Satan may be granted permission to “sift you all like wheat,” all the while Jesus prays.  He is interceding for us now at the Father's right hand.  Jesus tells Peter plainly that his faith will fail.  Peter will betray Jesus.  Judas is not, apparently, the only disciple who would.  After Peter remarks that he will go to prison and death for Jesus, Jesus switches from calling him Simon to calling him Peter, harkening back to when Jesus first gave him this new name.  On this rock—Peter—Jesus would build his church, yet in the very next moment Jesus says to him: “get behind me, Satan!”  Similarly here: Jesus tells Peter: “you will deny three times that you know me.” But Jesus is also praying.  And Jesus has confidence.  Not only in Peter's failure, but also in the fact that Peter will turn back.  “When you turn back,” Jesus says, not “if.”  And that turning around that Peter will do is what we might call “repentance.” Repentance at the invitation, prayer, and enabling power of Jesus is what undoes the work of sin and Satan.  Though we may stand tempted, entrapped, and accused: Jesus continues to pray for us and to invite us to turn around—to repent and to believe.  Satan's power is never stronger than the word and work of Jesus.  He remains subservient to the Crown.  And so as Paul writes in Romans: “if God is for us, who can be against us?”  Indeed, nothing can separate us from his love for us in Jesus Christ, our Lord!

Enjoy our next Haunted Historical Brisbane podcasts today!Historical FactsOpened in 1924, heritage-listed Brisbane Arcade was designed by architect Richard Gailey. Gailey was engaged by siblings Dr. JamesO'Neil Mayne and Miss Mary Emelia Mayne to build one of Brisbane's first shopping arcades in a style reminiscent of late 18th century European design.Haunting FolklorePatrick MayneIn 1848, an impoverished Irish immigrant called Patrick Mayne came into money and purchased two of Queensland's most coveted land blocks on Queen Street in Brisbane (Brisbane Arcade 2019). By 1849, Patrick and his family have moved into their new home and business, a butchers shop in the physical location now known as the Brisbane Arcade. What isn't as well known is that in 1848 a friend of Patrick Mayne's, a timber cutter and ex-convict known as Robert Cox met up with Patrick at The Bush Inn in Kangaroo Point and was later discovered robbed of £350 and murdered. On his deathbed Patrick confessed to his friends murder and robbery, and his restless ghost has been sighted on multiple occasions near the Adelaide entrance (the location of his original home) of the Brisbane Arcade.Milliner ShopkeeperThe most sighting spirit within the walls of the Brisbane Arcade would have to be the Lady in Black, or the Milliner from the Gallery Level. She is often seen walking in a determined fashion along the balustraded Gallery level walkways, dressed exclusively in black and wearing a bonnet adorned with a beige and cream lace. It is said she is the ghost of the original Milliner who kept a shop on the Gallery Level and following a failed romance threw herself from the Gallery onto the marble floor below breaking her neck.Bronia Armstrong MurderAnd lastly, we have the well-documented Brisbane Arcade murder, that of Bronia Armstrong in 1947. The Central Queensland Herald (1947, p. 19) reported that on the 10th January 1947 Reginald Wingfield Spence Brown, a 49 year old accountant murdered Bronia Mary Armstrong. Miss Armstrong's partly-clad body was found the next morning in room 5 of the offices of the Brisbane Associated Friendly Societies' Institute located above the arcade by fellow employee Nurse Lorna Major. Armstrong was employed under Brown's direct supervision and in his office as a typist. It was said that Brown had developed a sexual passion towards Armstrong and on the afternoon of January 10, when they were alone, he attacked. Armstrong screamed piercingly for some time, before Brown knelt upon her elbows and suffocated her by applying pressure on her chest and after she became exhausted placed something over her mouth. Prior to Nurse Lorna Major's discovering of the body at 8.30am the next day, Brown had informed her that he had been assaulted the previous night in an attempt to explain away the marks upon his visible body.The Telegraph (1947, p. 1) reported that Mr. Justice Mansfield stated, "This verdict, I think, is justified by the evidence. The facts disclose this was probably one of the most brutal and pathetic cases in the history of Queensland crimes." The Northern Star (1947, p. 5) reported that the Crown Prosecutor in a final address to the jury, said damning and telling evidence had been given and the jury would take into account the fact that it had not been answered. Armstrong's ghost is said to still haunt the inhabitants of the office her body passed away inside, moving objects and causing electrical problems.Two of Reginald Wingfield Spence Brown's descendants wrotea book defending their grandfathers innocence in regard to the Arcade murder that was released in 2013 (Drummond & Teunis 2013).  You will learn more about Brown's final demise at our final stop - BogSupport the show (https://www.tomspod.com/store.html)

Jody Wilson-Raybould, also known by her initials JWR and by her Kwak'wala name Puglaas, is a Canadian politician and the Independent Member of Parliament for the riding of Vancouver Granville. She served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General in the cabinet of Justin Trudeau from 2015 until January 2019 and then as Minister of Veterans Affairs of Canada from January 14, 2019, until resigning on February 12, 2019. Before entering federal politics, she was a provincial Crown Prosecutor in Vancouver, a Treaty Commissioner and Regional Chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations. Wilson-Raybould studied at the University of Victoria and later at the University of British Columbia. She lives with her husband Tim Raybould in Vancouver.  We met in Ottawa the day after her book From Where I Stand, Rebuilding Indigenous Nations for a Stronger Canada was launched and talked, among other things, about telling the truth in politics - the whole truth; about exactly what 'title' means; about launching a book in the middle of an election; about keeping promises, Justin Trudeau and SNC Lavalin, Alberto Manguel, Conrad Black, the Royal Proclamation of 1763, Confederation, assimilation, the Charter of Rights, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, reconciliation, indigenous self government, community development, revenue sharing, spousal travel, and creating a more 'just society'. 

Simon and Phil were joined by National Party Leader Simon Bridges for their first chat together.  They covered why he got into politics, which parliamentarian he’d least like to sit next to on a long haul flight, his time as a Crown Prosecutor, and what he really thinks of Winston Peters. LISTEN ABOVE.

If things had turned out differently, Simon Bridges would be the one behind the microphone. The National leader revealed to Simon Barnett and Phil Gifford that he originally wanted to be a talk back host, but he was rejected from a communications degree so went to law instead. "I don't have a voice or a face for TV or radio. But politics was definitely there as well. I wanted to do something public." Bridges says that he was very burnt out by his time in the law, where he served as a Crown Prosecutor, which was one reason why he went into politics. Now he has to face the likes of Winston Peters every day instead of criminals. The Deputy Prime Minister has clashed with Bridges multiple times, but the National leader says that he actually likes Peters."He's old naughty as I think the Chinese have called him. He's this cheeky old rogue that actually amuses me greatly." LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW ABOVE

The Social Network Show welcomes back Sandy Garossino to the June 11, 2014 episode. Sandy Garossino, Founder of Red Hood Project and a former Crown Prosecutor in the Vancouver area discusses the latest on the public rebellion against the loss of privacy online. This is a very interesting discussion of some new Apps being developed and the public's reaction to them. Hear Sandy talk about the bills being introduced into Congress in the U.S.; about Facebook's new privacy settings and the new App that they want to introduce onto your smart phone; about the reaction of the public to the new App by Facebook; about the new ruling in Europe that allows people to have objectionable links removed from the internet; and hear about how people do not want to give up their right to privacy. Sandy Garossino is working on the front lines in order to help improve child safety for social networkers.  Sandy brings a unique perspective to the fight for child safety as she understands the issues from the perspective of a lawyer who prosecuted crimes against children.  Sandy started the Red Hood Project with partner Raffi Cavoukian after she and Raffi became aware of the Amanda Todd tragedy.  Red Hood Project is also the source of a letter written to Cheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, which implored her to make changes to Facebook policy regarding cybercrimes. Sandy is a business owner, active community advocate and former Crown prosecutor in the Metro Vancouver area. She is a regular panelist on the Bill Good Show, contributes to the Vancouver Observer and blogs for Huffington Post BC.
