The files run from 1884 to 2019. The 2010s hold the most, with 2 files. The oldest is Arnhem Land: Colonial-era Massacres of Aboriginal People, from 1884.
They are spread across 5 cities and towns, no more than one file in any of them. By type, the largest groups are murder and homicide cases (2), wrongful conviction cases (1) and mass shooting cases (1).
1 file of the 5 has coverage attached: 3 videos, podcasts and documentaries from 2 creators. 60 Minutes Australia and Dr. Todd Grande have covered the most of them.
Every file is written from cited sources and pinned where it happened, and every person named carries the legal status the record gives them. If you hold information about an unsolved case, contact the investigating agency named in its file rather than posting it publicly. Families and anyone involved can request a correction from any file.
