It's just thing in the country where if you live on a farm for example, you know, the farm's probably in the man's name,

the man's probably got legal gun licenses, so he's got guns, he's armed. Chances are they know that one or two police officers in the town, you know, for the police to go all the way out there and investigate it, it's going to be really big deal and the whole town's going to know about it in a couple of hours. The women just don't want to

press the charges. It's just too hard. Jamele Wells is one of Australia's most experienced and well-known court reporters.

She's been a fixture inside Sydney Supreme Court for decades and she finally wrote a book about it in 2018 called The Court Reporter.

What she didn't mention in that book is a sort of hobby she has of popping into regional courts

around the country.

It's probably got something to do with the fact that she was born and raised in Outback, New South Wales.

The result is Jamel's second book called The Outback Court reporter.

It's equal parts shocking, disturbing, hilarious and endearing.

And Jamel joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about why she loves country courts,

but also why she says that Australia is a country where justice is by postcode.
