- Daily News
There’s been a worrying rise in police killing and injuring people in the line of duty. Including the recent tasering of 95-year-old great grandmother Clare Nowland. Hearing about such cases on the news is a nightmare for Leesa Topic, whose 22-year-old daughter was shot dead by NSW police outside a Hungry Jacks in 2015, in a response condemned as “entirely inappropriate” by a coroner.
Leesa and Terry Goldsworthy, an Associate Professor in Criminology at Bond University, join us to explain what’s happening within the Australian police force.
Headlines:
Prince Harry finishes eight hours of testimony
Controversy over Higgins pay out
Economy in dire straits
LIV and PGA golf tours merge
Nazi symbols to be banned
