"If you don't have a personal connection to the actual area, the location, or the workforce, or the people that travel back and forth and work there, then it's harder to have an understanding of day-to-day life there," Beaton said in a phone interview from her home in Cape Breton.

The book is further inspired by detailed consideration of the experience of complainants in two high-profile cases, which Milligan had previously covered in Sydney and Melbourne. Witness is both a gripping revelation of rarely-heard experts' opinions about the realities and flaws of criminal procedure, and a devastating critique of the system. Informed by Milligan's two decades of experience as an investigative journalist, including her specialist work as a court reporter and her sustained coverage of the trials of George Pell, her analysis is enriched by in-depth interviews with prosecutors, defence counsel, solicitors, judges and academics.

You know why the Navy has that rule about pulling people out within seventy-two hours? Because after seventy-two hours, you increase your risk of something called “aseptic bone necrosis.” Nobody knows why, but the pressurized environment causes bone destruction in the leg and hip. Barnes didn’t bother to give us all the gory details. Just leave it at this – we’re in a very dangerous environment. “Reading the details will only upset you. ![]() ![]() |d MVTA19/20_INVOICED_(TAYLOR ELEM)_DIST BUDGET |3 Publisher description |u |z Publisher description |3 Contributor biographical information |u |z Contributor biographical information |a HarperCollins (Firm), |0 |e publisher. |a JUVENILE FICTION |x Social Themes |x Friendship. |a ABC Children's Booksellers Choices Award. |a "One thing leads to another when you give a pig a pancake"-Title page verso. |a 1 volume (unpaged) : |b color illustrations |c 24 cm. |a New York : |b Laura Geringer Books, An Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, |c ![]() ![]() |a If you give a pig a pancake / |c by Laura Numeroff illustrated by Felicia Bond. ![]() |b Harpercollins Childrens Books, Attn Elaine Nealon 53 Glenmaura National Blvd Ste 300, Moosaic, PA, USA, 18507-2132 |n SAN 200-2086 ![]() ![]() Similarly the illustrative quotes chosen here are merely those the complete review subjectively believes represent the tenor and judgment of the review as a whole.
