| 10 | Ethical life; what the cases of Lindy Chamberlain, Jacqueline Gillespie, Helen Darville and Schapelle Corby might tell us. (9' 51"; 4.5 Mb) Note: This list was no sooner posted (May, 2012) than news came of heightened expectation that Schapelle Corby would be released from the Indonesian prison early, but maybe not that early. Then came the dramatic fourth coroner's inquest into the death of Azaria Chamberlain; after 32 years it was finally made official that she was killed by a dingo and not her innocent and grieving mother. These cases continue to stir the public psyche and our ability to tell right from wrong; well-known comedian Wendy Harmer publicly apologised for her contribution to the mind-set that put Lindy Chamberlain into jail with a life sentence (Google it). | Rosemary Balmford |
