It Didn’t Break… It Bent

In 2019, a major review into Tasmania’s prosecution system found it was working “satisfactorily.”A few issues. Some pressure. Nothing the system couldn’t handle. But what happens when that pressure builds quietly… over time? Through an RTI-obtained document, a new internal review from 2024 reveals a system under strain  growing case loads, increasing complexity, delays in disclosure, and resources struggling to keep up. In this episode, we step back from individual cases and examine the system itself  the warning signs, the missed opportunities, and the environment these cases existed within.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
