Show Notes Ep 219 of Australian True Crime with Meshel Laurie and Emily Webb:

On 16 July 2001, security guard Steven Rogers was shot dead at his workplace, a Fertility Control Clinic in East Melbourne.

Clinical psychologist Dr Susie Allanson who worked at the clinic was on-sight that day and she joins us to tell us about it, along with lawyer Lizzie O’Shea who represented the clinic in the Supreme Court Case against protesters who'd harassed staff and patients for years before the crime.

They’ve detailed how one man's murder changed the future of women’s rights in their book Empowering Women: From Murder & Misogyny to High Court Victory (Wilkinson Publishing). Susie Allanson's book is Murder on his Mind: The Story of Australia's Abortion Clinic Murder
