February 03 Leanne Farrugia's fight for justice
WARNING: EXPLICIT DETAIL IS DICUSSED IN THIS PODCAST
SCOTT BARRY HAWKEN was able to hide behind a Suppression Order for years but that order has now been lifted & Leanne Farrugia is determined to highlight the injustices she has faced & the battles she is still fighting. HAWKEN was found guilty at trial & incarcerated for sexual offences committed upon Leanne but how can it be fair that Leanne's Workcover payments didn't come close to her actual wage, yet HAWKEN was on full pay for years until he faced court? It just seems so terribly wrong.

October 28, 2025 Melanie Cage - a respected Policewoman's decision became her undoing
Todays podcast is longer than normal but waiting a fortnight for Part2 was, I thought, too long, so here it is in its entirity.
Melanie has been drawn to helping those in trouble since she was a teenager. Prior to joining NSW Police, she was a volunteer at her local (NSW) Rescue Squad (part of the Volunteer Rescue Association) & after being part of the rescue effort @ the Thredbo Ski Village disaster in 1997,policing was her obvious next step. Mel retired after dealing with the consequences of a silly decision she made but which many of us might consider also, given the same circumstances. Even after Policing, Mel still helps save people in distress through the Good Samaritan App - something Victoria needs desperately.. .. .

October 14, 2025 Paul Majda - Gaining respect as a Policeman on a mission in the N.T.
Paul took an opportunity to do something different after policing in the Northern Territory for 5yrs. He took up a role policing one of the most remote missions in the N.T. By the end of his tenure, he had gained the respect of the community but the community also had gained Paul's respect. It was an experience which changed him forever. What he achieved is heart-warming stuff.....

September 30, 2025 John Cardamone - The importance of being believed
John Cardamone was only 6yo when he began to think of ways to avoid his abuser - a family relative. He didn't know how & who to tell, but at 8yo he found the courage to tell his mum & it was her understanding response which changed his life (for the better). John's disclosure to his mum demonstrates the importance of kids being believed when they decide to disclose something so very troubling. . .

September 16, 2025 Courtney Herron - a life cut short
Courtney Herron's father John, shares a story which is unimagineably painful - the senseless murder of his daughter by a man who should never have been out in the community unmonitored, due to his mental health status. Her killer had been released from custody only weeks earlier, with no supervision or monitoring, even though he'd violently attacked another young woman who unlike Courtney, had survived. He was just left to do what he liked, when he liked, disregarding & ignoring reporting requirements by the authorities, with no consequences.

September 02, 2025 The Pat Cronin Foundation's Robin Bailey
Pat Cronin was a 19yo talented local footballer with the world at his feet. Celebrating with his brother & team mates, a brawl erupted & Pat stepped in to try & break it up. Pat was punched from behind, a coward punch which ended his life days later. To honour his young life, his parents formed The Pat Cronin Foundation with their mission being to end the coward punch & educate the community on the consequences of violence. Todays guest, Robin Bailey, is a major supporter of the Foundation & is lobbying for a diversion program at court called 'The Pat Cronin Diversion Program' as another option for a magistrate to consider in cases involving violence. PLEASE NOTE: There are 5 modules in the eLearning program not 7 as mentioned in the podcast. .
