November 29, 2023 Committing Crime to Prevent Animal Cruelty: The Necessity Defence (NSW Supreme Court)
On 21 June 2018, a group of animal lovers entered 220 Mowbray Park Road, Lakesland, New South Wales, and removed egg-laying chickens, to prevent them being subjected to ongoing gruelty.
They were charged and convicted in the New South Wales local court, for offences against the Inclosed Lands Protection Act.
In this episode, I outline the background to the matter, and the group’s appeal to the New South Wales Supreme Court, where they relied on the defence of necessity.

November 06, 2023 Sexual Assault, Lies & a Jury Trial: Appeal Against Conviction (ACT Court of Appeal)
On 29 March 2022, a jury found Salvatore Incandela guilty of sexual assault, which begun as a date gone wrong. He appealed the conviction on two grounds.
In this episode, I look at the ACT Court of Appeal’s decision, including how it dealt with the issues of corroboration and Incandela’s lies.

October 27, 2023 Murder in Mortlake: How a Cloned Key Led to a Tradie's Conviction (NSW Court of Criminal Appeal)
On 10 March 2017, armed offenders used a duplicated key to enter the apartment of Kemel Barakat - also known as "Blackie" - and killed him.
The identity of the armed offenders remains unknown. However, evidence led police to suspect that Ahmed Jaghbir, a Sydney tradie, had assisted the offenders to carry out the murder.
On 12 October 2020, Jaghbir was found guilty of being an accessory before the fact to Blackie's murder.
Earlier this year, Jaghbir appealed the conviction to the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal. In this podcast, I review the reasoning and outcome of that appeal.
This is Australian true crime, told through Australia's criminal justice system.

The accused was convicted after a jury trial. He was ultimately sentenced to 19 years imprisonment.
The New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal last week handed down its decision on his appeal. The accused successfully argued that his conviction should be set aside.
Eleven words spoken at the trial made all the difference.

October 04, 2023 Victoria's Anti-Nazi Laws: Current and Proposed
In December 2022, the Victorian government amended its Summary Offences Act to prohibit the display of the Nazi Hakenkreuz (Swastika).
On account of growing neo-Nazi activity, the government now plans to increase Nazi-related prohibitions, by expanding the banned symbology and including a prohibition on performing Nazi gestures, including the Nazi salute.
In this video, I look at the current and proposed laws, and question some of the potentially unintended consequences.
