In this episode of the Compendium, we’re jumping into the heart-wrenching story of Lindy Chamberlain, a tale that captivated and divided a nation. It all started when the Chamberlain family went camping near Uluru in 1980, they never imagined that their trip would end in tragedy when their 9 week baby daughter Azaria would be taken and dragged into the night by a dingo. Its a tragedy that led to one of Australia’s most infamous legal battles. And so this episode explores the intricate web of public opinion, media speculation, and the legal twists that followed. We will look at how politics, corruption and pride led to what has became known as the largest miscarriages of justice in Australian History. We look at nuances of this wrongful conviction case, examining how cultural misunderstandings and forensic missteps painted a picture of guilt and deceit around the Chamberlain family. We will talk through how the Chamberlain family's fight for justice unfolded, where once again we question the role of media in shaping public perception.
