From Penal Colony to Paper Justice

Listen in app
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. From its very beginnings as a penal colony, Australia's justice system was designed not for fairness, but for control. From Penal Colony to Paper Justice investigates how this history continues to shape modern courts, laws, and policing.
This hard-hitting exposé explores:
The colonial foundations of punishment and control.
How British legal traditions still dominate an "independent" nation.
The role of judges, police, and public servants in maintaining the system.
Real-world cases that reveal systemic injustice.
The cost to ordinary citizens - financial, social and personal.
Practical solutions for a fairer, more transparent legal system.
Blending history, analysis, and shocking examples, this book challenges the illusion of equality before the law. It shows how justice often functions as "paper justice" - words and procedures that protect power while leaving ordinary people vulnerable.
Engaging, uncompromising, and thought-provoking, this audiobook is for anyone who wants to understand the truth behind Australia’s justice system - and what must change for it to finally deliver justice for all.
