Good Weekend Talks

The Tragic Death of Kumanjayi Walker


Listen Later

If there are two sides to every story, untangling these perspectives is the often unenviable task faced by a journalist, as it was for Brisbane Times reporter Zach Hope, who followed the Darwin trial of Constable Zach Rolfe over the death of Indigenous man Kumanjayi Walker.

Hope joins us on an episode of Good Weekend Talks to discuss his magazine cover story - Broken Heart - about Walker, a troubled 19-year-old from Yuendumu who was shot by an Alice Springs policeman after the teenager resisted arrest. 

Hosting this podcast chat is Greg Callaghan, the deputy editor of Good Weekend, who questions Hope about the nuances and underlying issues at play in a case as prominent and controversial as this one became.
