The Last Outlaws

After Jimmy’s trial, what happened to his brother Joe?
Joe has mostly been forgotten by history, and his presence in the archives is little more than a whisper.
From coronial records, family tales and a visit to a country pub, it becomes clear that Joe fell foul of the frontier, in life and death.
And yet, more questions remain: Was Joe Governor, an outlaw, killed lawfully?
How do his ancestral remains become another transactional asset in the murky world of race science? And why is western knowledge still entangled in its colonial past?

How does the law deal with an outlaw?
Jimmy Governor is captured and his legal case becomes a lightning rod for justice in the new federation. But how did Australia’s most-wanted murderer get one of the best lawyers in the colony?
A prison experiment begins with a diary and we find out how the present mimics the past.

The Last Outlaws is the latest audio series to be released by Impact Studios, an audio production house embedded in the University of Technology Sydney.
The trilogy podcast is based on UTS Law Professor Katherine Biber’s tenacious and careful research of Jimmy and Joe Governor, Australia’s last proclaimed outlaws.
The Governor brothers' story has been told in books and film before, but never like this.
For the Governor family descendants this is a difficult story to tell, but one that demands to be heard.
Coming September 22nd.
