Australia On Trial is a three part drama series recreating three historic trials that throw light on aspects of Australia during colonial times. The three high-profile and controversial court cases raised major issues of national identity in the developing colonial nation. Each of the cases caused a sensation at the time and attracted enormous public interest. Each triggered social and political debate about subjects at the very heart of Australian society democracy and justice, the identity and behaviour of Australia's men, and attitudes towards women and Indigenous people - themes and concerns that are still relevant to modern-day Australia. .
