    Bad things happen, things that justify telling lies, such as saving a loved one. Bad things happen, things that do not justify telling lies, such as telling lies just to advance your career when the truth would be a career disaster.. All those lies, the justified and the unjustified, just for ambition. Question: Who cares that another's freedom was collateral damage to that insatiable ambition? Answer: No one who should care, who should right the wrong. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 2

    This episode, unusual for this series, makes no secret about the case being talked about. It is the murder of Bob Chappell on his yacht in January 2009 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. In late 2022, after 13 years in gaol, his partner Sue Neill-Fraser was paroled. She has always claimed that she had nothing to do with Bob's death. Since 2012, so for a decade, there have been others who have taken up her cause. This has led to several books, documentaries, and a rare (and unsuccessful) second appeal against her conviction that was heard in 2021. The evidence that upsets any confidence in her conviction is wide ranging and compelling. However, none of it has moved the State Government to do the obvious, namely to set up an independent Commission of Inquiry that can identify those at fault and call them to account. It is because such an Inquiry would have that result that there is no push for an Inquiry. It is not only the Government that has been determined to leave all stones unturned. The police and the prosecutor's office have been active to ensure that nothing amiss is noticed by the community. This is 'true crime' with a twist. Those listeners who want another take on this case should listen to 'The man who wasn't there'. The podcast icon is a dinghy with two police officers. Hosted on Acast.

    Introduction

    Success inspires, but so too can failure and tragedy. This podcast shares the wisdom that is born of those 'if only' moments, turning seeming defeat into a later opportunity to make good. And, if that is not achieved those listeners facing similar problems will be better prepared. This is a narrated, scripted podcast for good reason. Many worthwhile stories cannot be told for fear of retribution that destroys careers, savings, relationships and reputations. Listeners with 'that ' story that needs to be told are asked to contact the narrator by email hughmselby@gmail.com When all seems lost that is when serendipity intervenes. ----------------------------- For those with an interest in advocacy go to the podcast series Advocacy in Court: preparation and performance, An easy to read and use, affordable, companion book with the same title by Hugh Selby, is available on Amazon Kindle. Also available on Kindle by Hugh Selby, with examples of Chief/Direct and Cross in fictional settings: Liar Games; and, The Bone Cancer If you or someone you know is about to be a witness then go to the podcast series, Witness Essentials Another podcast series, just 7 short episodes, appealing to anyone with an interest in our justice system is ' The Man who wasn't There' Finally, if you like what you hear then tell other people and review these podcasts so that others benefit. Cheers, HMS Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 1

    It's not good policing to beat up pub patrons for the fun of it. That's thuggery. It's not good police management to cover up such beatings. It's not good police work or good government in a democracy to cover up aggravated assault or attempted murder by those same thugs upon a group of innocent teenagers who were 'kidnapped' while eating pizza in a park. Those thugs have never been called to account. Their handlers too have escaped scot free. And what of their victims? It's never too late to recognise the wrong, to call it out, and try to alleviate the consequences. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
