From Penal Colony to Paper Justice: The Hidden Truth of Australia’s Justice System
About this audiobook
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.
For readers who care about truth, reform, and accountability, this book is a wake-up call to confront the hidden realities of the law in Australia.
