Background

Podcasting, and in particular true-crime related podcasts which deal primarily with serial murders, kidnappings, disappearances, and unsolved crimes, became popular as a media format in Australia starting in 2016. While some podcasts are privately produced, many are created by investigative journalists within media outlets such as The Daily Telegraph, The Australian , ABC, or SBS. Most detail individual cases across a short series of episodes (e.g. Cop Tales at 1 episode) while others (e.g. Australian True Crime) issue individual, or sometimes serial, episodes on different cases weekly.

Most podcasts act to provide background detail on already well known cases (e.g. A Perfect Storm and the Chamberlain case) while also updating cases for recent developments, investigations, or trials (e.g. Claremont: The Trial). Others, particularly with cold cases, make appeals to the public for information (e.g. The Alibi). [1] Many also work to provide extrajudicial perspectives on the cases they cover. [2] Some are criticised as potentially complicating, or compromising, ongoing police investigations (e.g. The Teacher's Pet ). [3] [4] More recently, "survivor" podcasts, hosted by ex-criminals who were victims of childhood sexual abuse (e.g. The Clink, The Stick Up) have become more common.

Some shows have become well known internationally (e.g. Casefile ) and others have gone on to provoke significant breakthroughs (e.g. Trace, which in 2019 prompted the parliament of Victoria to change legislation, which allowed the state coroner to then commence a new inquest into the Maria James murder case [5] [6] ). A similar situation occurred with The Lady Vanishes which led to an inquest commencing in New South Wales in 2020. [7] Another podcast, The Nurse, helped trigger a Commission of Inquiry in Tasmania in 2020. [8] In February 2022, revelations from Shandee's Story prompted the coronial inquest into her disappearance to reopen [9] alongside a wider inquiry into Queensland's state-run forensics lab. [10]

In 2018, The Teacher's Pet won the Gold Walkley for excellence in Australian journalism. In 2019, Wrong Skin, won in two categories of the annual Australian Podcast Awards: Investigative Journalism & True Crime, and the inaugural Podcast of the Year. [11] In 2020, Birds Eye View was awardedPodcast of the Year and Unravel: Snowball was awarded BestTrue Crime Podcast. [12] [13] More recently, The Nurse was awarded 2021's BestTrue Crime Podcast, [14] The Greatest Menace won in 2022, [15] and Inside The Tribe won in 2023. [16]

He was released from prison in 2006 after his conviction was quashed by the High Court, and was paid $3.25 million compensation by the state government. The Western Australian Commission on Crime and Corruption investigated whether there was misconduct by any public officer associated with this case and made findings against two policemen and a senior prosecutor.
