    Shortcut: Fighting Discrimination in Australia's Justice System

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Our guest today brings a refreshing perspective on what's possible within our justice system when it's approached with equal amounts of skill and human compassion. George Newhouse is the CEO and the Principal Solicitor of the National Justice Project. Its mission is to take strategic action to create a fair and equitable society that is free from discrimination. When I first read that statement on their website, to be honest, I thought they were dreaming. But having now met George, my faith is revitalised and I'm very excited to introduce him and his work to you.  You can learn more and donate to The National Justice Project here.

    Shortcut: The Controversial "Mr. Big" Police Technique

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. On December 14, 2008, 37-year-old Mary Cook was found murdered in a burned down house on Darling Way, Narre Warren. Victoria Police launched a months-long covert operation, gaining a confession from 35-year-old Glenn Weaven using the controversial "Mr Big" technique. Weaven was convicted of Mary’s murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison, with a 16-year non-parole period. But the use of the Mr Big method has sparked intense scrutiny. Our guest today on Australian True Crime, Professor Michele Ruyters, is here to explain what the Mr Big technique is, and how she believes it may have coerced a confession from Glenn Weaven, thus resulting in his wrongful conviction. Today's conversation is also conducted by our guest host and resident criminologist, Dr. Xanthé Mallett. Michele Ruyters is the director of the Bridge of Hope Innocence Initiative at RMIT University.  Click here to visit and report information regarding this case to The Bridge of Hope Innocence Initiative.
