The Queer Hate Crimes of Australia

This episode continues to collect and share the unsolved, and a few solved murders of gay men who were bashed along the cliffs and beaches of Bondi Beach in Australia between the 1970s and 1990s. 

Investigators have begun a serious effort to solve as many of these cases as possible. Part of their dedication is an acknowledgment of the neglect on the part of the police and the large society when it came to violence against the LGBTQ+ community. Sometimes this violence was led by the police themselves. 

As the police continue to try and solve these cases I wanted to share their stories here and on the Youtube channel. 

If you want to watch any of these shorts you can find them all on the Panic: Queer True Crime channel.
