About this listen

In 1979, Justice Philip Woodward’s Royal Commission promised light—and delivered language.

The Law That Never Spoke follows the insiders who saw too much: a clerk who filed a brief that vanished, an AFP officer told to “stay in his lane,” and a system that learned how to silence itself by process, not threat.

Featuring archival material, reconstructed testimony, and the quiet echoes of a nation still balancing its books, Episode 3 traces how the machinery of justice became the machinery of silence.

Listen now. Because every system leaves a paper trail—if you know where to read between the lines.
