Download or read book White lies Black blood written by Ken Blanch and published by Strictly Literary. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A totally revised edition of the tragic case of Australian Indigenous man Kipper Billy, a convicted rapist condemned to hang in Australia in 1862 before a watertight alibi was established for him and his co-accused, Billy Horton. While Horton was pardoned before the execution could be carried out, no such acknowledgment of innocence was extended to Kipper Billy, who had been killed during an attempted jailbreak. Dogged crime reporter Ken Blanch wrote the first edition of this book White Lies, Black Blood: The Awful Killing of Kipper Billy in 2015, which resulted in an historic posthumous Queen's pardon for Kipper Billy by the Governor of Queensland in 2018, possibly the world's first pardon of an Indigenous prisoner who died in custody. This is the story of that pardon and what happened next.

Download or read book The Cost of War written by Professor Stephen Garton and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War has shaped Australian society profoundly. When we commemorate the sacrifices of the Anzacs, we rightly celebrate their bravery, but we do not always acknowledge the complex aftermath of combat. In The Cost of War, Stephen Garton traces the experiences of Australia’s veterans, and asks what we can learn from their stories. He considers the long-term effects of war on returned servicemen and women, on their families and communities, and on Australian public life. He describes attempts to respond to the physical and psychological wounds of combat, from the first victims of shellshock during WWI to more recent understandings of post-traumatic stress disorder. And he examines the political and social repercussions of war, including debates over how we should commemorate conflict and how society should respond to the needs of veterans. When the first edition of The Cost of War appeared in 1996, it offered a ground-breaking new perspective on the Anzac experience. In this new edition, Garton again makes a compelling case for a more nuanced understanding of the individual and collective costs of war.

Download or read book I Know Who Killed Betty Shanks written by Ted Duhs and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Betty Shanks was brutally murdered 70 years ago. This book’s third edition reveals Betty’s secret life as documented in an ASIO file, which states that: - Betty was in an ‘intimate association’ with a young married man who was a member of the Communist Party of Australia. - Betty’s best friend from schooldays at Brisbane Girls Grammar School and at the University of Queensland, Winifred Cowin, worked for ASIO before committing suicide in 1958. - An ASIO officer arrived in Brisbane on Sunday 21 September 1952 to recruit Betty, only to be told that she had been murdered the previous Friday night. Ted Duhs alleges that Betty was killed by a man she met at the Grange tram terminus as she returned home from a night class at Brisbane’s Central Tech. This man, referred to as ‘the man in the brown suit’, was seen by four witnesses, including Marie Patton who is still alive. Minutes before Betty was attacked, Marie saw him 30 yards from the murder scene. Evidence suggests he was Eric Sterry. His daughter, Desche, is still alive, and in 1999 her story “My Dad Killed Betty Shanks” was published in The Courier Mail, after her earlier attempts to persuade the police were unsuccessful.

To XI. (1881 to 1901), And the Queensland State Reports and Weekly Notes (1902 to 1907) This volume of reprinted reports of Criminal Cases has been compiled in order to have in a handy form, both for Court work and for reference purposes, the cases decided on this branch of the law in Queensland prior to the publica tion of The Queensland J astice of the Peace, to which it is a companion volume. Difficulty has been experienced, especially by new practitioners, in obtaining complete sets of the reports (particularly the earlier volumes), from which these cases have been reprinted, and in addition to such difficulty, the price of the reports 'is a serious consideration. Numerous requests have been made during recent years for such a volume, and it is hoped it will prove of service, not only to members of the Profession, but also to Magistrates, Clerks of Petty Sessions, and members of the Police Force. A Subject Index is included in order to facilitate quick reference to cases. The Editor desires to express his thanks to Mr. T. B.
