TRUE CRIME
It was a real-life Wolf Creek. In 1978, three friends left Alice Springs on an adventure exploring the Australian outback. Weeks later, a man walking his dog stumbled across their bodies in a remote area of bushland in North Queensland. They’d been hunted down and shot, one of the victims dying as he clutched hold of a tree. Police brought in to investigate were badly injured in a helicopter crash and soon after, the investigation stalled. The Courier-Mail explores one of Australia’s most forgotten mysteries: The Spear Creek murders. The killer is still out there.

Good reporting, not what I anticipated though

I enjoyed the podcast and agree it’s vital to continue the discussions on the treatment of minorities across the world. My only issue is I felt that there were alot of loose ends with these stories, and the summary of the podcast eluded to a much more powerful ending than just shining a light on the issue of racism. We know there is still a horrific problem with racism. So that was a bit of a letdown.
Interesting & informative

As an American, it was interesting to hear these stories of systemic racism (an issue we all know well) in an Australian context. I’m frustrated by the comments on here saying this podcast is about drugs and poverty. It isn’t and that’s the whole message. I do wish the last episode (7) was done differently. It mainly summarized things they’d been discussing throughout the podcast and heard more meaningless defense from the police.
Brave and thoughtful

The reporting and story telling is well done in a way that only an insider from the community can accomplish. So important to have these tragedies investigated and have questions asked that the authorities have ignored. Appreciate the voices being raised through this podcast.

Not trying to be mean, just honest, the reporting is good and I applaud the compassion and empathy shown by the podcasters/reporters, but the families denial of the situations is a little hard to listen to. I’m not saying I don’t understand because if the police aren’t willing to work you through the whole situation that’s obviously frustrating, the obvious profiling like “oh well indigenous what do you expect?” is awful, but the police can’t do anything after someone has k**led themselves or overdosed and the family just refuses to understand or accept the truth. Very sad honestly. But I stopped listening at the fourth episode. The vehement denial is too depressing.
