True crime

Megan Norris joins us again to talk about the case of Robert Farquharson.
Farquharson is the Victorian man who was twice convicted of deliberately driving his car into a dam on the night of Father's Day 2005 for the purpose of murdering his three children, Jai, 10, Tyler, 7, and Bailey, 2. 
He also launched two failed appeals against his convictions. 
Recently 60 Minutes devoted an entire episode to the story in which they called for yet another review of the evidence.
No one knows this case like Megan Norris. She's a journalist and author who started her career as a court reporter. Megan followed this case from the very beginning, first to write a series of magazine articles. 
But through that process, Megan developed a close relationship with the mother of the three boys, Cindy Gambino. Cindy asked Megan to write a book about what she was going through, and thank goodness she did, because since Cindy's own death in 2022, that book "On Father's Day" has been her only voice.
Megan joins us on Australian True Crime to represent Cindy and to take us back through the evidence against Robert Farquharson.

The story behind the evidence with Dr Xanthé Mallett

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 
Alan Bond, "Bondy" as he was known by Prime Ministers and Aussie battlers alike, was unlike the other Australia flamboyant billionaires of the 1980s. 
He and his wife Eileen, whom he called Big Red, built their fortune from nothing in the suburbs of Perth, and they still wore their humble beginnings on their sleeves when they socialised with royalty.
Of course, it all came crashing down in those brutal post stock exchange crash days in the early nineties.
Bryce and Alec from our favourite millennial finance podcast, Equity Mates Investing, join us again on Australian True Crime to tell us all about it. 
You can listen to their podcasts "Equity Mates Investing" and "Get Started Investing" wherever you get your podcasts.Visit www.equitymates.com/events to keep up to date with their live events.
