ATC Discusses: Bondi Junction Stabbings, Tiahleigh Palmer, and the Purpose of Inquests

The upcoming coronial inquest into the Bondi Junction stabbings and the renewed attention on Tiahleigh Palmer's case following the death of her killer, Rick Thorburn, in prison, have brought coronial inquests back into public focus.

In this episode, we explore why coronial inquests are conducted even when the perpetrator is known, examining their role in uncovering systemic issues, providing closure to families, and informing public policy.​

Joining Meshel in this discussion is ATC's producer Matthew Tankard, and criminologist Dr. Xanthé Mallett.
