Episode Details

The inquest into fifty deaths at St Basil’s Home for the Aged is back on track, set to resume in early August after years of delays. Key figures, including former chairman Kon Kontis and Ms. Kos, are now ordered to testify after previously refusing due to self-incrimination concerns. Families of Greek-Australian residents who perished during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak continue to seek closure, with names read aloud in court as a haunting reminder of the tragedy. Meanwhile, the home faced separate legal action over unsafe conditions, pleading guilty and paying a $150,000 fine. With these testimonies, the inquest moves toward its final phase, as legal arguments loom before the coroner delivers her findings — acknowledging the emotional toll on grieving families and the long road to justice.
