About this listen
From the case of the stolen cat flap to a custody dispute over a camel – Jamelle has seen the lighter and quirky side of outback courts but has also witnessed the harsh, dark, and petty side of outback life – including the high rates of Indigenous incarceration, alcohol-related and domestic violence.
After spending almost 20 years in city courtrooms reporting for the ABC on some of the country’s highest profile cases, in The Outback Court Reporter, Jamelle Wells takes you into our country courtrooms, from the grand sandstone edifices of Cobar and Grafton to the repurposed community halls and police stations in outback Queensland and the Northern Territory – introducing you to the court staff, the witnesses and the accused, in cases that shock, captivate and divide communities.
The Outback Court Reporter is also a timely reminder of the need for reform as country magistrates struggle with massive caseloads and limited resources, the fall-out of a failing regional health system and limited bail and sentencing options in a justice system that is under pressure and communities still disadvantaged by the vastness of our continent.

A great yarn!
Tales from behind the scenes of our regional legal system, from a perspective often overlooked. Well written and easy to listen to, I really enjoyed it!

Such a great insight into the court system in rural and remote areas and how it differs. Very well told.

Booooooring
This could have been so interesting but it was really boring. I didn't finish this book, the only thing I thought was good is Jamelle's segues into different topics were very smooth but it really wasn't enjoyable to me.
