Blood, sweat and tears: A country man sues his employer

We don’t like to think about where our meat comes from. And with good reason: abattoirs are gruesome places. But for Paul Draper, mincing meat on the factory floor of KR Darling Downs wasn’t just unpleasant, it was unsafe. In this episode, you’ll hear the story of how a violent workplace accident forced a reluctant litigant to take on one of the biggest employers in Toowoomba, Queensland. 

Restitution is produced by Deadset Studios and inspired by the book The Right Side of Wrong by Shine Lawyers co-founder Stephen Roche.
