Annabel Hennessy was reporting on another case when she heard a name that would change everything. A lawyer, expert in First Nations’ rights, told her about Jody Gore - a woman convicted of murder with little weight given to the years of domestic abuse she suffered.

This story unravels how Annabel’s groundbreaking series of articles led to real change in Western Australia.

WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of domestic abuse and may not be suitable for all. ​​If you or a loved one is experiencing domestic violence, support is available globally through a number of hotlines and organisations, some are listed below.

Note - a previous version of this episode wrongly called Annabel's paper the Western Australian, it is, of course: the West Australian. Apologies.
