On 31 March 2017, British ultra-endurance cyclist Mike Hall was struck and killed in Australia while riding his bicycle towards Canberra. At the inquest into his death, Mike was portrayed as not being conspicuous enough to motorists. Yet his reflective clothing was not retained by police, and other physical evidence was inexplicably sent back to the family. The driver was never charged even though he was speeding, with headlights that he stated could only project two meters and brakes that worked intermittently. Meanwhile the driver's blood toxicology results were not presented to the Coroner until the eleventh hour, and have been kept from scrutiny - until now. Kangaroo Justice and the Death of Mike Hall: An Australian Miscarriage of Justice recounts the avoidable death of Mike Hall in Australia, and the flawed investigation and coronial inquest that followed. It asks some difficult questions that deserve to be heard and answered.

ustralia watch out! This is a snapshot of the generational change that is coming. A call to generational battle not seen since the 1960s. Ryan Heath, a twenty five year old writes about his generation - young people in their twenties who he says are very different to Baby Boomers and Generation X.His book is a sexy snapshot of the people born after 1970 - the people of this century. How they are different, special and ready to take over from Baby Boomers.Like many of his generation, Ryan Heath has had a gutful of the same bunch of boomers still hogging all the good jobs and holding Australia back. He says: Enough is enough - it's time for a generational change or Australia will slide into decline.In a style that is controversial, passionate and with humour, this is an enjoyable and provocative read in the tradition of Mike Moore. A must read for Generation Y and X but also for Boomers who will love to hate Heath's criticisms and mockery of them. He pulls no punches when it comes to Aussie sacred cows and institutions - Fairfax, the ABC, and the ALP particularly. Ryan asserts that his generation is very different to boomers and X's. They may be smaller in number but are more diverse, better educated, more socially responsible, switched on to new technologies and believe in working through networks rather than hierarchies. He believes they have what it takes to make Australia a better place.
Come on honey. We're going. We're catching the next plane out of here." "And go where?" Ryan asked calmly. "Anywhere. Doesn't matter. Away from here. I got money. Credit cards. Somewhere she'll be safe." He tugged her hand again but she wasn't budging. "Come on honey. We're getting out of here." "I am not leaving. I am not running." "What? Of course, you're leaving." Chris looked at Daffy for support. He shrugged his shoulders and his lips twitched before he spoke, "Might as well sit. We've been all through this with Annie. A number of times. She refuses to leave." Chris leaned down, looked into her face. "This is your life we're talking about, sweetie. You're not safe here." He held her hand tightly. She shook her head. "I'm not leaving my home. Prowitt is not running me out of my home. No one knows how long I'd have to be gone. Ryan and Daffy will keep me safe. They'll figure something out." She waved her free hand. "I'm staying. My life is here. I am not leaving." He wanted to shake her, convince her to go, but he could see her mind was made up. He rubbed his hand over his mouth and chin. Ryan and Daffy exchanged a look. "You don't go anywhere without backup." He looked over to Annie and Chris. Annie sighed. "But we have plans." "Don't care," he said. "Those plans now include an extra person. Wherever you go." "Well, darn," Annie said. She looked up at Chris. "I'm sorry. This isn't exactly how I planned your furlough." "Not your fault, sweetheart. And this isn't furlough. This is forever. I'm not leaving, I'm settling. How long?" he asked. "How long do we have to hide out?" "How about until we know you're safe?
