Season 06 Episode 03: Roger rabbit, reconciling responsibilities: Who’s job is it anyway?

WARNING: This episode discusses road safety fatal hazard exposures and construction failures.

“A cream bun goes a long way for you,” Alan teases Trajce when Trajce admits that he could never prosecute a baker.

Alan describes a work health and safety legal case when a football club grandstand roof collapsed during construction. The construction workers were fortunate to avoid significant injuries.

Sara regales a story about her drive home from her son’s rugby practice when a car sped past theirs travelling up the wrong side of their neighbouring lane. She adds to the story with another event - a car collision that no one wanted to clean up. “Who’s job is it anyway?” asks Trajce, as he examines the confronting idea of false comforts, “In systems, we blindly trust,” he says.
