Shortcut: My father attacked my mother in front of 300 people - Part Two
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 the last episode of Australian True Crime, our guest Arman Abrahimzadeh OAM told the story of his childhood and adolescence. It was an existence characterized by fear and violence in which he, his sisters and their mother eventually made a pact never to allow anyone to be left alone with his father. The patriarch of the family ruled with violence and financial control. Nevertheless, Arman's mother and her children did escape with nothing but a few clothes, and they began to create a new life for themselves. After several years, his mother worked up enough courage to attend The Persian New Year celebrations at the Adelaide Exhibition Center, with hundreds of other people believing she'd be safe in such a large crowd. But later that night, Arman was woken by a terrible phone call. He was told his father, who'd also attended the event, had stabbed his mother. Today, Arman is a successful businessman in Adelaide, a member of that city's council and a member of the Order of Australia. Arman is a father, a husband, brother and he's an ambassador for Our Watch. He and his sister's have started a foundation named after their mother, Zahra Abrahimzadeh.

Shortcut: My father attacked my mother in front of 300 people - Part One
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. Arman is a high achiever by anyone standards, except possibly those of his own father. As you'll come to learn, Arman grew up in a home ruled by fear, and I must warn you that this will likely be a triggering conversation for anyone with experience of family violence. Arman's storytelling is vivid, and as much as every family is different, he manages to capture so many ways in which his family's story is all too common. This is part one of a two part special. Part two will be available later this week.

This episode was originally aired on April 12th, 2017.Sallie-Anne Huckstepp had never intended to be a whistleblower, but when her drug dealer boyfriend Warren Lanfranchi was shot and killed by crooked cop Roger Rogerson, she decided to speak out. A call that would eventually end her own life, but she took it regardless. 31 years on since her body was found floating in a duck pond in Sydney’s Centennial Park, her killer is still unknown.

Shortcut: The ex-bikie enforcer who turned to mental health advocacy
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. Brent Simpson is a former sergeant-at-arms for the Bandidos Motorcycle Club.Considering his childhood was marked by poverty, physical and sexual abuse, it's almost easy to imagine how he found community and connection within the bikie gang.What is hard to imagine, however, is how someone could leave that club and commit their life to mental health advocacy - a path Brent has not only embarked on but continues to do so. Be sure to tune in to Australian True Crime later this week for an episode that delves into Brent's childhood story.For Support: Lifeline on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.
