Election Day is like Christmas Day, with some of us not getting ourselves organised until the very last minute - even though we've known for ages that it's happening. Christmas day is never sprung on us. We know it happens every 12 months, but there's a lot of last-minute panicking, isn't there? We get even more warning with Election Day. We know it happens every three years, but there's the same last-minute rush. Especially for the 110,000 people who were in the last-minute camp at the last election, enrolling to vote on the same day they voted. But the Government's not having any more of that and, as part of its changes to the way elections are run, it's doing away with same-day enrolment. Which I think is a mistake. But ACT MP Todd Stephenson is loving it, saying: “It's outrageous that someone completely disengaged and lazy can rock up to the voting booth, get registered there and then, and then vote to tax other people's money away.” But he's missing the point completely, because isn't it brilliant that more than 100,000 people got to vote in the last election because they could enrol on the day? Isn't it the ones who didn't vote at all who are the lazy ones? The Government's missing the point too. Because instead of penalising voters because it's system can't cope with last minute enrolments, it should be coming up with a system that can cope. It should be building a system that enables same day enrolment instead of getting rid of it. What it's doing is effectively reversing something that was brought in for the 2020 election by the previous government. But it's going even further than just reversing what Labour did, and people are going to have to be enrolled and have their details up to date before the 12 days of advance voting begins. The Government says it's making the changes so the votes can be counted quicker. So that we get a result quicker, and so the politicians can get on with doing coalition deals. But that's just an excuse for not putting in the effort to come up with a better system to count the votes. And I'm not the only one saying that today either. Electoral law expert Graeme Edgeler is pouring cold water on it as well, saying there's nothing stopping the politicians who look like they've been elected from beginning coalition negotiations before the final special votes are counted. He says the final results can change by one or two seats, but nothing dramatic, and he says, “the time delay just doesn't seem like a particularly good reason for this." As for one of the other changes it's making —delivering on its promise to bring-in a total ban on prisoners voting— that gets a thumbs down from me too. Again, it's getting rid of something brought in by the previous government: voting rights for prisoners serving sentences of less than three years. Which is a mistake because I see a prisoner being able to vote as a way of keeping them engaged with the outside world. You might recall a few months back, Sir Ron Young was finishing up as head of the Parole Board and he was saying that the reoffending rate for prisoners who serve short prison terms of two to three years is higher than those inside for longer. That's because they have way less opportunities to get themselves rehabilitated and they end up spending a lot of their time behind bars hanging out with serious crims. So he was advocating for keeping these prisoners more engaged with the outside world, and I see voting rights as a way of doing that. What's more, how does a prisoner serving two years being allowed to vote affect you? Answer: it doesn't. It has no impact on you and no impact on me.

Mark Lundy hasn't been able to speak a word publicly since he was released from prison early last month. That's because the man twice convicted of murdering his wife and daughter in Palmerston North over 20 years ago cannot speak to the media, post on social media or even blog about his case. Given he proclaims his innocence, some experts are concerned that this Parole Board condition impinges on his right to freedom of speech. Jimmy Ellingham reports.

Lundy was twice found guilty of murdering his wife Christine and seven-year-old daughter Amber in their Palmerston North home in August 2000, but maintains his innocence. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham spoke to Lisa Owen.

Recently retired Chair of the Parole Board, Sir Ron Young, is saying short sentences may be doing more harm than good. "We can't do anything about the crime that someone's committed who's already in prison," he said. "We can try and do something about the crimes that they could commit by reducing reoffending, and that's putting huge effort into rehabilitation." LISTEN ABOVE.

You would think this could not get any worse. But it did.

You will not believe what you are hearing. Tina has been failed again by a Parole Board who agreed to the recommendation to move Jenkin to an open prison, ready for release.

Laura and Tina discuss Shane Jenkin's violent history, his time in prison, the 2022 Parole Board hearing where it was determined Jenkin was too dangerous to release compared to the 2024 Parole Board Hearing where it was recommended Jenkin was ‘safe' to be transferred to an open prison, ready for release. Jenkin gave Tina a life sentence. He held her hostage for 12 hours denying her medical care and when doctors finally assessed Tina's injuries, they told her that the 18-stone abuser had attacked her with such force that they could see his nail marks in her sockets.

A group of bikies converged on Sydney airport. Within minutes, one was dead and others injured. It was an incident that set off one of the world's most intense and effective gang operations, and led to a plethora of law changes and high profile convictions. Deborah Wallace is a titan of NSW Police. Retiring in 2019 after 36 years in the force, she became known across Australia as 'The Gangbuster', after successful operations in the intense region of Cabramatta, and then the aforementioned Strike Force Raptor.

In Episode 15, Lisa O'Brien and guest host Jennifer Harmon talked about State of Oklahoma v. Phillip Dean Hancock. Hancock's November, 2023 execution was preceded by controversy, including claims by their least favorite Oklahoma legislators (one former and one current), who claimed that Hancock was exercising his “God-given right to defend himself,” when he brutally murdered two men, both of whom were unarmed and posed no threat to him. They looked at the 2001 murders of Robert Jett, Jr. and James Lynch, III, the evidence against Hancock, his trial, direct appeals and state and federal post-conviction claims, including an effort to use DNA testing to prove his claims of self-defense. Then they talked about the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board recommendation of clemency, Governor Stitt's last minute denial and Hancock's execution on November 30, 2023. Jennifer Harmon is a well-known community advocate and Alert Neighbor captain in midtown Tulsa. Born and raised in Tulsa, Jennifer is a Navy veteran and holds a Master of Divinity from Phillips Theological Seminary. Jennifer co-founded Justice For Peggy Gaytan in 2011.

Homicide survivors know that "closure" is a myth. (Closure literally means "to conclude.") Lack of closure is demonstrated in many ways, like attending the parole hearing. Here we will learn from Jeanne Dotts Brykalski as she describes her fight to keep the offender who killed her parents behind bars. Each time she participates she knows it will open old wounds. This episode sheds light on the experience of facing a parole board, offers tips, and extends an invitation to read and sign a petition to keep the offender locked up. (You needn't know Jeanne nor live in Tennessee to do so.)Please join us, won't you?

Laura analyses Ronald Evan's behaviour and Rob Murphy reveals something shared by Michelle Leonard, the undercover police officer who caught him and how his 2022 documentary about Ronald Evans helped catch 81-year-old Evans once more. Police arrested Evans the day after the documentary was broadcast. As she jailed Evans for four years last November, the judge said: "The risk you pose to women is significant. The combination of your history and continuing sexual interest underlies my concern you are a risk of serious sexual harm to women." 83-year-old Evans is back before the Parole Board in October 2024. Twice a Parole Board took the decision to release Ronald Evans early. Will women be put at risk a third time?
