Shortcut: The "Therapeutic" Role of a Coroner

Shortcut: The "Therapeutic" Role of a Coroner

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.

Our guest on Australian True Crime today is Brisbane Coroner, Donald MacKenzie.

After 30 years in the criminal justice system since being appointed to the Coroner's Court in 2019, MacKenzie has investigated over 2000 reportable deaths, including over 700 suspected suicides, over 500 road fatalities and over 100 homicides in the last 12 months alone.

Don joins us today to talk about his job to help us understand the coronial system and the ways in which it differs from other courts, and to explain why he describes his work as therapeutic.
