  • Three, Four, Five Civil Liberties Groups Emerge in WA
    Chapter 8 – Western Australia Three, four, five civil liberties groups emerge in WA The first mention of a civil liberties body in Perth came in an article in a local daily newspaper in September 1936: “The establishment of a Council of Civil Liberties in Perth was advocated yesterday by Mr. C. Bader (sic), readers’ counsellor under the adult education scheme of the University of Western Australia. Mr. Badger made the suggestion when discussing the action of the Customs Department in seizing 17 books from the Perth Literary Institute last week. “In view of the general tendency to interfere with the free circulation of books, and especially the tendency of the Federal Government to devolve its powers to irresponsible departments, said Mr. Badger, one felt there was a great need for a body in Perth affiliated to or parallel with the Council of Civil Liberties in Melbourne. This council, in its own way, was a development of the Council for Civil Liberties in England, whose president was Mr. E. W. Forster, the author of ‘Passage to India’. “It was a saddening fact that the battle for liberty, which people were apt to regard as having been won for them by their ancestors, had to be fought anew in each generation. “Despite the ample powers which governments had to suppress overt sedition and treachery, continued Mr. Badger, democratic governments still found it necessary to pass Acts like the Crimes Act, which were contrary to the whole tradition of British law and justice.” 1 Badger (photo), then just starting his career, went on to become the first Director of the Council of Adult Education in Victoria, a position he held until 1971.

  • Estelle Blackburn
    Estelle Blackburn Speaker, Author, Walkley Award winning journalist Estelle Blackburn took on the justice system and, against all odds, rectified two grave injustices, demonstrating the power of an individual to alter history and improve society at a fundamental level. Now based in Canberra, Estelle is a former Perth journalist who has worked for The West Australian and the ABC, various W.A. Government ministers and a Premier. She gave up full-time work and spent six years researching and writing the book Broken Lives, published in 1998. Estelle’s book exposed an injustice which led to the 2002 and 2005 exonerations of John Button and Darryl Beamish, who had been convicted of murder in the 1960s, and created history as the longest standing convictions to be overturned in Australia. Her unfunded, determined sleuthing unearthed fresh evidence that prompted the Attorney General to allow the men new appeals after they had lost a combined total of seven Appeals in the 60s. Coming across the story by chance and persisting with it turned Estelle’s life around. Here was a courageous woman who without a second thought impoverished herself to fight the cause for strangers. With no legal training and armed only with extraordinary qualities of courage and determination, she took on the system and won. Because of her vision, hard work and self-sacrifice the justice system may have been set on a truer course. This work won her an Order of Australia medal in the 2002 Queens Birthday Honours List for her service to the community through investigative journalism. She has also won journalism’s highest honour, a Walkley Award for the Most Outstanding Contribution to Journalism, the Perth Press Club Award, Western Australia’s Clarion Award, the Premier’s Award for non-fiction, the Australian Crime Writers’ Award for best true crime, and a scholarship to undertake a PhD in journalism at Murdoch University.

  • Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 20 June 2019] P4438b
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 20 June 2019] p4438b-4455a Mr Matthew Hughes; Dr Tony Buti; Mr Reece Whitby; Mr Simon Millman; Mr John Quigley; Mr Peter Katsambanis CRIMINAL APPEALS AMENDMENT BILL 2019 Second Reading Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MR M. HUGHES (Kalamunda) [2.51 pm]: Given the contributions thus far to debate on the Criminal Appeals Amendment Bill 2019 by the lawyers present—I think we have a couple more to follow—I am a bit hesitant to make a contribution. I listened with interest to the observations made by the member for Hillarys and I clearly respect his position—that this government is bringing forward legislation that needs to ensure a sensitive balance between consideration of the needs of victims of crime and those of people who may find themselves in circumstances of wrongful conviction. From where I stand, the government has a strong record on protecting the interests of the victims of crime. Our Attorney General has been a very strong advocate for ensuring that we have legislative reform in that area. Before he leaves, I have a question for the member for Hillarys. When he talks about victims of crime, I am interested to know about those members of the Western Australian public who have been wrongfully convicted and are, in effect, innocent of the crimes for which they have been convicted. I ask the member for Hillarys: is a prisoner who has been wrongfully convicted and is serving a significant term of imprisonment as a result of that conviction not also a victim of our judicial system? I would argue that such a person clearly is, and we as a Parliament should be fulsome in our support for legislation that ensures speedier access to the appeals process.

    7338 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday, 26 November 1992 THE SPEAKER (Mr Michael Barnett) took the Chair at 10.00 am, and read prayers. PETITION - BICYCLE HELMETS LEGISLATION OPPOSITION MR KIERATH (Riverton) [10.01 am]: I present the following petition - To: The Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned, protest strongly against the recent introduction of compulsory helmets for adult bicycle riders. This law is an unjustified restriction of our freedom, has no clear statistical justification, and is a cheap substitute for real improvement in traffic conditions, for cyclists and motorists alike. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that you will give this matter earnest consideration and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. The petition bears 12 234 signatures and I certify that it conforms to the Standing Orders of the Legislative Assembly. The SPEAKER: I direct that the petition be brought to the Table of the House. [See petition No 140.] STAMP AMENDMENT BILL Introduction and First Reading Bill introduced, on motion by Dr Lawrence (Treasurer), and read a first time. Second Reading DR LAWRENCE (Glendalough - Treasurer) [10.03 am]: I move - That the Bill be now read a second time. The purpose of the Bill is to exempt from stamp duty the standard form proprietor/resident nursing home agreements which are being introduced by the Federal Government to promote and protect the rights of nursing home residents. The Western Australian Government supports this initiative. The standard form agreement will apply in more than 90 approved non-Government nursing homes - those covered by the National Health Act 1953 - in Western Australia.

  • Imagereal Capture
    JAN 19991 BOOK REVIEWS Who Killed Rosemary Anderson? By Estelle Blackburn (Stellar Publishing Pty Ltd 1998 pp 410 $24.95) ESPITE its status as the capital city of Western Australia, Perth in the year D 1960 was much more akin to a large country town than a bustling metropolis. Even today long-term residents reminisce about the 'good old days' when people could leave their houses unlocked, sleep on front verandahs on hot summer nights and walk the streets without fear. But in the early 1960s all this was to change. This book begins by chronicling the life and crimes of Eric Edgar Cooke. During the period 1958 to 1963, Cooke was, on his own admission, responsible for causing the deaths of five Perth residents, causing serious injury to nearly a dozen others and committing innumerable burglaries and car thefts. Ultimately Cooke found a place in Western Australian history as the last person to die on the gallows of Fremantle gaol. But this book is not just a chronicle of Cooke's activities. Before he was apprehended, two men were charged and convicted of offences to which Cooke later confessed. The first and perhaps better known of these was a hearing and speech impaired youth named Darryl Raymond Beamish who was sentenced to death (later commuted to life imprisonment) for the wilful murder of Jillian Brewer in 1959. Subsequent to his apprehension in 1963, Cooke confessed to this murder, and declared that Beamish was innocent. As a result the then Minister of Justice referred Beamish's conviction to the Court of Criminal Appeal; however, after hearing evidence from Cooke, the court concluded that there were no grounds to set aside the conviction and dismissed the appeal.

  • Three Accounts of Eric Edgar Cooke's Murderous Reign
    The town becomes a city: three accounts of Eric Edgar Cooke’s murderous reign Paul Genoni School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Curtin University The town becomes a city: three accounts of Eric Edgar Cooke’s murderous reign Eric Edgar Cooke is remembered as Perth’s, and Western Australia’s, most notorious serial killer. From the mid-1950s Cooke engaged in a prolonged series of break-ins, thefts, violent attacks and eventually murders that ended only with his arrest in August 1963. In this time he was responsible for causing serious physical injury to over 20 people, many in their own homes, and eight were killed. Cooke was an opportunist murderer. Unlike most serial killers he had no obvious modus operandi— his murders including the running down of a pedestrian; a stabbing; a bludgeoning with a hatchet; a strangulation, and four shootings. It was because of this bizarre aspect of his crimes that police and the public took some time to realise they had a serial killer in their midst. Many of Cooke’s crimes occurred in Perth’s well-to-do western suburbs, and in his most notorious outrage he went on a shooting spree in the beachside suburb of Cottesloe and riverside Nedlands in the early hours of January 27th 1963. In a series of four incidents, unrelated except for Cooke’s involvement, five people were shot and three killed. It was at this point that the killer was dubbed ‘The Nedlands Monster’ and Perth went into a state of shock and fear. Not only are the Cooke murders infamous because of their scale and oddity, but for other reasons they have lingered in the memory of West Australians.

  • A Public Lecture
    Networked Knowledge Media Reports Networked Knowledge Western Australia Media Reports This page set up by Dr Robert N Moles [Underlining, where it occurs, is for NetK editorial emphasis] University of Western Australia – Lumina Public Lecture Challenging justice – changing lives - A public lecture by Estelle Blackburn OAM It is generally agreed that 1% of the prison population are innocent inmates who are the victims of injustice. This presentation will detail two wrongful convictions in 1961 and 1963 and how a Perth journalist with no legal training could succeed in gaining the innocent men’s exonerations 40 years later, winning against the odds after they had lost seven combined appeals in the 60s. When John Button’s manslaughter conviction was quashed by the WA Court of Criminal Appeal in 2002, and Darryl Beamish’s wilful murder conviction was quashed in 2005, they were the longest standing convictions to be overturned in Australia. As well as the exonerations, the work corrected Perth’s history. Eric Edgar Cooke, the perpetrator of the two murders and the last person executed in WA, had been remembered for killing six people and attempting to kill two more in 1963. Cooke is now recognised for eight murders and 14 attempted murders over a five-year period from 1958. The work also gave a voice to 12 of Cooke’s previously-unknown attempted murder victims, gave hope to innocent prisoners and raised public awareness of wrongful conviction and its causes: police misconduct including blinkered investigation, over-zealous prosecutors, weak legal representation for the uneducated and marginalised, false confessions, fabricated evidence by witnesses with incentives, faults in forensics, eyewitness misidentification and fallible memory.
