Podcasts vs Justice

The mushroom murder trial of Erin Patterson spawned at least five dedicated podcasts and countless news reports. Around the same time, there was a coronial inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker, a Warlpiri man who was shot and killed by police while resisting arrest in the remote Aboriginal community of Yuendumu, Northern Territory. The inquest found that Walker’s death was ‘avoidable’ and should not have happened.
