Under fire: who is policing the police?

There’s been a worrying rise in police killing and injuring people in the line of duty. Including the recent tasering of 95-year-old great grandmother Clare Nowland. Hearing about such cases on the news is a nightmare for Leesa Topic, whose 22-year-old daughter was shot dead by NSW police outside a Hungry Jacks in 2015, in a response condemned as “entirely inappropriate” by a coroner.

Leesa and Terry Goldsworthy, an Associate Professor in Criminology at Bond University, join us to explain what’s happening within the Australian police force.

Headlines:

  • Prince Harry finishes eight hours of testimony
  • Controversy over Higgins pay out
  • Economy in dire straits
  • LIV and PGA golf tours merge
  • Nazi symbols to be banned
