Sandra Nicholson was at the heart of chaos. Whilst Melbourne was under siege during the Gangland Wars, and bushfires wreaked havoc across Victoria, those at the top of Vic Pol were forced to front the media and take responsibility for the intensity surrounding the city. Sandra Nicholson was Assistant Commissioner at Victoria Police for 5 years, and steered the ship with Commissioner Christine Nixon. Sandra joined the service in 1975, and rose through the ranks until her retirement almost 40 years later. Brent Sanders chats with Sandra as she reflects on her career, and the high stakes work that took her from Social Service in NSW, to the second highest-ranking female officer in the history of Victoria Police.

Today's episode is an update on Season Four, The Night of the Bonfire, in which I investigated the tragic death of 16 year old Alana Cecil in Melton, Australia in 1996.I want to thank all the local listeners in that case for their support in what was the most difficult case I've worked on to date. If you listened to this season (and I highly recommend you do), you'll be aware of the emotional toll this case took on not only myself but others directly involved. When I released the final episode of this season in September of 2024, I made it clear that this was not the end of the investigation, but just the end of the podcast, for now.Throughout the final months of my investigation I had been working increasingly closely with Victorian Police on new developments in the case, evidence that was not included in the podcast. At this point I felt the appropriate move was to pass this new evidence on to Police so that they may use their vast resources to investigate further. I firmly believed that these leads were the strongest in the case to date and that the truth of what happened to Alana was finally after 28 years, was very close.In November of 2024 I was informed by the Senior Detective I had been liaising with, that a report was being compiled based on the new evidence and was being sent to the Superintendent for review.Then in December the news that Alana's family have been waiting 28 years to hear. After reviewing the evidence Victorian Police made the decision that there will be an official further review of Alana's case in 2025. This review will be undertaken by a newly formed team of four detectives, who will thoroughly canvas the existing case and the fresh evidence in an attempt to finally get to the truth.Since that time I have provided further evidence to Police to assist in their investigation and continue to provide support where required.Naturally Alana's family are ecstatic with this development, and for myself and the Podcast this is a huge win. This is what it's all about, this is why I put in the hours and why you listen and engage, so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support and to those who subscribe, you're a huge part of making all of this possible.The review of Alana's case is underway now, and hopefully 2025 will be the year we finally get the truth and justice for Alana and her family.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/guilt.

On this episode of 3CR's Queering the Air, Madison (She/Her) read and discussed an open letter of demand to Victoria Police from a newly forming group, the Trans Justice Alliance Victora (TJAV), in the hope that it can restore some likelihood of Victoria Police finally doing the right thing with regards to three key aspects of Trans Justice. TJAV seek to challenge the abusers of corporate power, in order to affect positive societal change for Trans, Gender Diverse and Non-binary persons. Also, we revisit an interview conducted back in February 2024 with Frank Gafa, first nations trade unionist, activist and co-founder of the No Police at Pride campaign. During that interview, Frank shared their experiences with the behaviour of Victoria Police with regards to the Midsumma Pride March. Any listener is likely to get a sense of the extent to which littlehas changed and littleis changing in this important area of trans public policy, with the Police dragging their feet every step of the way. PLUSWe will conclude our series of interviews with the participants of the Wicked Women Reboot photo shoot, including with the photographer Jamie James.Music:Everything Starts with an E, E-Zee PosseFeatured Community Events:Shitlist Productions presents Queer Shit Show, Friday 7th Feb from 7pm till late.

After coercing farmers to plant marijuana crops in their fields, organised crime figures laid the seed for a dominant and violent drug empire across the Victorian borders.

Corruption in the police is a sad reality of the job. But for those investigating these coppers, it's especially hard. Often they're mates - but, they're mates who've committed crimes, so there's no holding back.  Chris Coster is Victoria Police's last Chief Inspector. His 45-year career came to an end in 2019, and with it, the rank of Chief Inspector was phased out. During his time at Vic Pol, Chris was the Head of Recruiting - meaning he was the final filter in deciding whether a recruit would be handed a gun and a badge. Then, Chris developed and lead the incredibly successful Neighbourhood Watch Program - and finally, internal investigations; work which saw him investigating his mates, and making some incredibly tough calls. Unpack his career with host Brent Sanders, and understand how Chris overcame immense challenges to be lauded as one of the greats of Victoria Police.  For more episodes, download the LiSTNR app. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
