Shortcut: The Prejudice in Policing That Left Cases Unsolved

Shortcut: The Prejudice in Policing That Left Cases Unsolved

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.

In a recent episode, we spoke about the decades-long fight for justice for Scott Johnson, whose 1988 death in Sydney was initially ruled a suicide by police, despite evidence of a wider pattern of gay hate crimes.

Today, we’re joined by Sue Thompson, one of the key Australians who supported Scott’s brother, Steve, in his quest for the truth.

A former lawyer turned police officer, Sue spent 17 years creating programs to bridge the divide between NSW Police and the LGBTQIA+ community, helping to address the entrenched prejudice that plagued investigations like Scott’s.
