How Shane Drumgold Orchestrated His Own Downfall

Episode 307 - Chad & Niko discuss the sensational downfall of the ACT’s most senior prosecutor, Shane Drumgold. We’ll give you a rundown of the key testimony so far at the public hearings, and play for you some snippets from the hearings that we believe you should know about - they include Drumgold walking back his claims of a government conspiracy, Lisa Wilkinson’s lawyer grilling Shane Drumgold over his failings as a chief prosecutor and failing to stop Wilkinson from making her now infamous Logies acceptance speech, and we also play for you excerpts from the inquiry’s chairman, Walter Sofronoff KC, where he outlines his thinking so far and how he sees things going.

To start off with, we take a quick step back and refresh our memories as to how this all started, and why it has become a matter of such intense public interest.

Don't forget to give us a 5-Star Rating!
