This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Jamelle Wells is one of Australia's most experienced and well-known court reporters.

 

She's been a fixture inside Sydney's 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 Jamelle's second book called "The Outback Court Reporter". It's equal parts shocking, disturbing, hilarious and endearing.

 

Jamelle 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.
