Report of that hearing

Theo Hayez’s family plans trip for inquest

She (counsel assisting) expressed frustration at what she called a “sorry history” of delays in the case, saying it was unacceptable to still be waiting for material three years after the matter was referred to the coroner.

State Coroner Teresa O’Connor agreed and went further to say repeated failures to meet deadlines also disrespected Theo’s family.

Thank you for the information! At least someone is taking some responsibility.

Theo would have been 21 a few days ago. How on earth are they still finalising material for the case, and a large amount to be finalised still? 2 years and 4 months since this kid went missing, a visitor to our shores and not only does he go missing, but almost 2 and a half years later, with countless delays, and the coroner’s inquest now under two months away, they still haven’t got everything finalised

that’s just absolutely pathetic! Embarrassing! Distasteful and borderline corrupt! Have some respect for Theo, his family! And even the people who have dedicated a portion of their life for nothing else but to help find the truth for Theo and his family!

Lord knows that’s the least they should expect!

ok rant over!

Here is an interesting article on an assault by police officers in Byron Bay in 2018 for which the officers were acquitted by the local court in Lismore.

I mean, I’m no copper, but you would think after using capsicum spray, a taser, 12 baton strikes, a double handcuffing, and another 6 baton strikes, ya might change your way of conflict resolution?

Cops say he was aggressive, witnesses say he was dazed and confused.

I know who I’m believing everyday of the week and it ain’t the hot fuzz let me tell ya!

There is a long history of police misconduct in this area.
See this record of Tristan Naudis experience before passing away at Lismore base hospital after having his 000 calls for ambulances dirty downgraded to be assisted by only police after a reaction to a substance.
Summer Season: He wanted an ambulance. He got a police "dog box".

Tristan called triple-0 for help. Police took him to hospital in a 'dog box'
“there was a toxic culture, encapsulated by an acronym — CARE.
C-A-R-E means Cover *advertiser censored*, Retain Employment."

There is so much corruption here.

I get what you’re saying. However where was the police bashing without evidence? There are clearly stories from MSM posted, so again, where is the police bashing?

if anything, the police should be held to a higher standard to avoid any corruption.

Just cos they are the police, that should not make them immune to their work and conduct being looked at and investigated.

Maybe I’m just mistaken? Maybe no police ever have been corrupt? Just ask Terry Lewis

Terry Lewis 'no remorse' for Queensland police corruption

There’s a link from MSM for ya too let them read it I say

If they don’t like evidence of conducting themselves poorly to come up, they should DO BETTER. Everything mentioned was backed by evidence. Yes, “not all cops”, but.. most of them.

Coronial inquest into Theo Hayez's mystery disappearance to begin in Byron Bay

There are a few interesting things in this article. Especially where it mentions Antoine Van Laethem is expected to be a "significant witness" in the inquest. I wonder if he is just significant cos he was with Theo when he was last seen alive, or could there be something else?

“A preliminary meeting of the parties — or direction's hearing — heard a large number of overseas witnesses were expected to give evidence via audiovisual link.”

“The Coroner's Court heard fellow Belgian backpacker Antoine Van Laethem, who stayed at the WakeUp! Hostel with Theo and was with him at the nightclub on the night he disappeared, is expected to be a "significant witness" in the inquest. ”

Here’s hoping we have a thorough inquest.
