You always remember we're a therapeutic jurisdiction and the reason we don't make findings about

murder and civil liability so that people are free to speak so that we can get to the bottom of the

truth. That's why we're get to the bottom of the truth.

That's why we're allowed to do what we are in terms of make people tell us what happened

even though they're going to discriminate themselves. Our guest on Australian True Crime today is Brisbane coroner Don Mackenzie who brings classic

Queensland equality to the chat.

He's down to earth and Wiley, with a twinkle in his eye

and he clearly is still fascinated by the law,

after 30 years in the criminal justice system.

Since being appointed to the coroner's court in 2019, Don has investigated over 2,000 reportable deaths,

including over 700 suspected suicides, over 500 road fatalities, and over 100 homicides.

In the last 12 months alone he's been called upon to investigate the shooting of a marine

biologist on a crayfish farm and the death of a stuntman while filming a

bliss and so music video. Don joins us today to talk about his job, to help us understand the

coronial system and the ways in which it differs from other courts and to explain why he describes his work as therapeutic. What are you listening to when you're trying to live healthier?
