The 1994 bombing of the Adelaide National Crime Authority sent shockwaves across Australia. It was a brutal act that killed a police officer and seriously injured others, sparking one of the most daring undercover operations in our history. But this police sting had an unusual weapon - forensics. With red phosphorus linking the bombs and a drug manufacturing business run by a key suspect, and forensic experts involved in the operation, this was a rare moment where science went on the offensive. In this episode, host Liz Porter is joined by Colin McLaren, the cop who infiltrated the Australian Mafia, lived a double life, and brought down a group of organised crime kingpins from the inside.

However, his time as a Detective and a lead investigator saw him take on some gruesome and confronting cases - a far stretch from the press conferences and media appearances as commissioner. Last year, Mike joined Crime Insiders Detectives host, and fellow former NZ cop, Brent Sanders, to talk about some of the most memorable cases from his 40+ year career.

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time may contain audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and discussion of Deaths in Custody.This special Doin' Time program is a dedication and tribute to the much loved and honourable Uncle Ray Jackson, born 27 March, 1941 and died on April 23 2015. He was a Wiradjuri warrior who dedicated his life to fighting for justice and human rights for Aboriginal people, and much more. Our first Tribute to Ray is Joseph Pugliese longtime activist and much loved guest on Doin Time, and close friend of Uncle Ray Jackson.  We will hear from his loved ones throughout the show.We will also interview Carolyn Jackson daughter of Uncle Ray. She has been a much loved part of the show since 2015 when her father passed away. Ray is missed by Carolyn, and her beautiful family.Lastly, we will bring you an interview with Rob from Monday Breakfast. On Saturday the 26th of April around 450 activists attended a counterprotest in the name of trans liberation. The action was countering the reactionary 'WOMEN WILL SPEAK' rally, organised by TERFs and white nationalists. A similar event held last year by the Women's Action Group, an organisation dedicated to spouting transphobia, was attended by members of the National Socialist Network. A group of trans and queer people, antifascists, and other allies disrupted Saturday's action by making noise and dancing to music in numbers vastly higher than that of the transphobic rally. Police set up a designated area during the day and used these powers to force activists, many of whom are disabled, to remove their masks before searching them with a wand. VicPol later used brutal force against protestors who were chanting about Victoria Police's murder of Somali man Abdifatah Ahmed in Footscray two weeks ago.  Doin' Time spoke to Rob Harrison, a proud non-binary, transgender and queer person, who attended the rally and witnessed the police violence. They are a co-host of the Monday Breakfast show at 3CR Community Radio. I invited Rob on to the show today because Uncle Ray was very committed to fighting police powers, and always stood in solidarity with our trans siblings. Rob gave an eyewitness account of the rally, and the police brutality.

Document examiner Neil Holland has worked on documents related to investigations into alleged Nazi war criminals, accused killers and dodgy bookies, and resurrected the writing on a document found inside a corpse’s stomach. In 1985, when Neil was the head of the Victoria Police document examination branch, the National Gallery of Victoria made history - acquiring Pablo Picasso's The Weeping Woman. At $2 million, it was the most expensive artwork ever purchased by a gallery in Australia. Less than a year later, it was gone. Stolen in a daring heist that left police, the art world, and the media stunned. Eighteen days after the theft, Neil found himself in the back of a police van in the dead of night - cradling a brown paper package. Inside? The missing Picasso, taken hostage by a group calling themselves the Australian Cultural Terrorists. In this episode, he’s here to tell host Liz Porter the story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In June 1880, the Kelly gang clashed with the Victoria Police in a long-anticipated shootout. When the police arrived in the small town of Glenrowan, where the gang was holed up, they quickly donned their homemade iron armour, crafted from stolen ploughboards. Whatever else Ned Kelly may have been; he was undoubtedly innovative. Join us this week as we explore his story and examine the Biblical armour that God has prepared for each of us.
