A Supreme Court judge has been selected to investigate the cause and manner of 88 suspected gay hate deaths in Sydney to give families answers and close a dark chapter in the state's history.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has announced the most extensive inquiry into dozens of Sydney gay hate deaths that have gone unsolved in some cases for more than half a century.A parliamentary committee previously found police failed to investigate many suspected gay hate murdersThe special commission of inquiry will be led by Supreme Court judge John Sackar and will investigate 88 unsolved murders committed against LGBTQI people from 1970 to 2010.

A spate of brutal bashings and murders in Sydney brought terror to the LGBTQI community for decades and police were often not interested in investigating the crimes. Another is the suspected murder of 25-year-old newsreader Ross Warren in 1989, which police initially said was a staged disappearance."These unsolved deaths have left loving families without answers for too long," Mr Perrottet said.

The inquiry will have significant powers, with Justice Sackar able to hold hearings, summon witnesses, and inspect documents.

With perverted random strip searches undertaken by authorities I'd suggest they look closer to home.

Meanwhile, Scott Morrison endorses an openly homophobic candidate. And so the hate (& risk) continues for LGBT people. 😥

jjjove Wasn’t Morrison’s father around all this including Luna Park? Oops

Replace 'biggest' with 'massively overdue'. Fixed another headline.

It’s easy - the police didn’t care

Blatant electioneering for the feds.

When was that announcement made, not right after their NSW federal candidate got slammed for anti-trans comments by any chance 🤔

88 unsolved deaths? 88? And this didn't send any signals?

Took 'em long enough

NSW Treasurer calls for Liberal candidate in Warringah to be dumped over 'vile' commentsNew South Wales Treasurer Matt Kean tells the ABC Katherine Deves, the Liberal candidate for Warringah, has 'got to go' over her comments about transgender people. Twitter are outraged. Just on that fact alone, I'd assume most Australians agree with her. It truly is disgusting how so many people are trying to delete women and replace them with trans men. The only answer is to create an extra gender. Women have suffered enough.
