1 y separately published work icon Curtain The Podcast Amy McQuire (presenter), Martin Hodgson (presenter), 2016- Australia : 28 Oct 2016 18515576 2016 series - publisher podcast

In 2016 highly acclaimed Darumbal and South Sea Islander woman and journalist Amy McQuire teamed up with Yuin man and accomplished human rights Lawyer Martin Hodgson and began the podcast to redress the case of Kevin Henry or ‘Kurtain’, who was wrongfully imprisoned 25 years before for the murder of Aboriginal woman ‘Linda’ (last name withheld) in Rockhampton. The two hosts have since used the podcast as a platform to not only present the evidence about the case of Kevin Henry but also to inform their audience of other injustices around the world.

'This is Curtain – a podcast where we pull back the blinds to shine a light on the darkest parts of our justice system and ask – who are the victims?

'A new investigation into the murder trial of Kevin “Curtain” Henry, from Rockhampton Queensland.'

Gather round people let me tell you a story

An eight-year-long story of power and pride

British Lord Vestey and Vincent Lingiari

Were opposite men on opposite sides

'You probably know these as the opening lyrics to the 1991 Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody song, From Little Things Big Things Grow. It is one of Australia's most important songs and most Aussies will know it - if not from its radio play or performances from Paul and Kev around the nation, then from its use by grassroots movements around Australia and in advertising campaigns. ...'
