    In episode 11 hosts Amy McQuire and Martin Hodgson discuss the final report of the Senate inquiry into Missing and Murdered First Nations Women and Children. Only ten recommendations were handed down, all with little or no relevance to the issue of femicide in this nation, the disappeared remain forgotten and the hosts explain the litany of failures.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the remote NSW town of Bourke, their families have long campaigned for justice and 36 years later all has finally been revealed.

    Finding the Missing with their Phones.

    In episode 7 hosts Amy McQuire and Martin Hodgson explain the vital tool that is triangulation, and the way it is used to locate missing and murdered people. But it is a technology that is not applied equally, with police failing to deploy this vital resource all too often. The Australian parliament has recently passed new legislation to improve its use, but does it really address the root issue?
