Our Little Edey – The Eden Westbrook Story

***This episode contains strong language and discusses themes that may be confronting for some listeners.We’ve chosen to include these moments as they were said, because they reflect the raw emotion and reality of what this family has experienced.”
It’s been more than a decade since Eden’s death but for her family, nothing about this has settled.
In this episode, we return to Jason and Amanda as they open up about where things stand today from building a new home with their own hands, to the ongoing toll of rumours, online attacks, and a community that remains deeply divided.
You’ll hear the anger that still sits just beneath the surface… frustration at misinformation, at people questioning their story, and at a system they believe still hasn’t delivered answers.
At the same time, there are moments of strength of rebuilding, of family, and of a refusal to be silenced after all these years.
This is a raw and unfiltered conversation about what it’s like to keep going… when the truth still feels out of reach.

If you are a long time listener of Our Little Edey then you would be aware of the allegations of systemic failings within Tasmanian police. In this episode of Badge of Betrayal we sit down with “Tom,” a current serving senior Tasmanian police officer who risks his career to speak candidly about the culture inside Taspol. Across a covert, one-off meeting, Tom reveals why allegations of family violence, sexual misconduct, and predatory behavior inside the force are now “at epidemic levels,” and why systems meant to stop offenders like Paul Reynolds failed for decades.
He walks us through internal cases never heard publicly, the politics behind the Wies Inquiry, and why he believes the truth about Reynolds and those who protected him still hasn’t fully surfaced.
This chapter pulls back the curtain on the hidden pressures, the fear of breaking ranks, and the consequences faced by officers who dare to speak out.

In the final episode of 2025, we speak with Jason and Amanda about the devastating fire that tore through St Helens and the surrounding East Coast, threatening homes, livelihoods, and a community already carrying deep scars.
Jason and Amanda reflect on the recent passing of Eden’s Law, the weight of grief that continues to shape their family, and the renewed push for answers surrounding Eden’s death.
We also address new allegations concerning Paul Reynolds, which have emerged following the release of the podcast Badge of Betrayal — allegations that raise serious questions about historical conduct, oversight, and why Eden’s case remains unresolved more than a decade on.
