Summary
A 95-year-old woman tasered by police in Cooma has ignited national outrage over Australia’s opaque use of tasers — a tool meant to reduce lethal force but now linked to deadly outcomes with no public data to track its deployment. Unlike UK and NZ, Australia offers almost no transparency on taser usage, especially against vulnerable individuals in mental health crises. Civil liberties groups demand accountability, yet authorities withhold footage and data, leaving the public in the dark — and without mandatory reporting, real reform remains out of reach.
