Would it not be easier In that case for the government To dissolve the people And elect another?

JACKI WHITTAKER: Maybe shut the door. I've got an acute sense of smell, but to me it smells like a cat has pissed in this room at some stage. ALICE BRENNAN: Jacki Whittaker's home is an old weatherboard house in Melbourne's outer east. It's as clean as it gets. A cat didn't piss in her son's bedroom. It's just that cat piss smells a lot like the odour left from cooking methamphetamine, and the tenant who lived here before her was cooking meth all over the house.

A transcript for this program will be made available the Tuesday after broadcast. "Bush Court" is based on a simple premise. If you live in a remote Australia, you won't be forced to travel to the city to seek justice. Instead, justice will come to you. It's kind of like a judicial roadshow with a judge, prosecutor, and defence team touring 30 Indigenous communities across the Northern Territory each year.
