Before we begin today's episode of Australian true crime, I want to tell you about a new project

0:04.5

we've been working on behind the scenes. It's called She Matters. It's a new podcast from

0:10.2

award-winning journalist and femicide researcher Shirel Moody. Each week, Shirel speaks with

1:19.1

the Warranghuri Woi Warang people of the Koolin Nation.

1:23.0

And a warning, this episode of the podcast contains graphic descriptions of violence.

1:33.8

Unfortunately, we hear with regularity about particularly AFP members,

1:39.0

Australian federal police members, taking their own lives at work on the premises. And I initially took that as like some kind of statement.

1:48.1

Yeah, it's just access.

1:49.8

Yeah, I didn't know that until I asked, you know, of course.
