When Humanitarians Kill is a podcast investigation into the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood’s criminal coverup of Australia’s deadliest medical scandal HIV & HepC contaminated blood.

For the first time ever our audience will be able to listen to interviews from some of the tens of thousands of Australians who are infected & affected by this atrocity and hear how for decades those impacted have been denied help by the Australian Red Cross the managers of Australia’s blood supply.

Each episode will also feature evidence that we will be encouraging the public and any budding ‘internet sleuths’ to help us make sense of together so we can get to the bottom of what really lay behind the worst public health failing in Australian history.

Charles MacKenzie who is the president of Infected Blood Australia, a Not-For-Profit group that supports those that were affected by tainted blood, has spent his entire life campaigning for justice on behalf of the Australian victims of the infected blood scandal.

In this first introductory episode of the investigative series that will expose the crimes of the Australian Red Cross we hear about the scale of the problem and about how Australians can now gather round and help us end the coverup and kick the criminals out of managing the blood supply.

An interview with Lyn Hatch the mother of Martin, the Aussie kid knowingly provided with tainted blood, who started the legal fight for justice for the Australian victims of the global infected blood scandal.

In this powerful episode, Charles and Lyn break open the hidden human costs of public health failures especially tragedies like tainted blood transfusions and contaminated blood treatments. With honesty and urgency, they explore what survivors and families endure long after the headlines fade: the medical, financial, emotional, and generational toll that reshapes every part of life.

Whether you’ve lived through a public health disaster or want to understand the real impact behind the statistics, this conversation pulls back the curtain on a crisis that should never have happened and must never happen again.

The unanimously agreed recommendations by the Senate of Australia on how recipients of HepC tainted blood should be treated. 21 years later not a single recommendation has been implemented leading to more family break ups and suicides, whilst the health minsters and culpable bureaucrats involved in the failures have made fortunes from the tax payer. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ddd792_d174655d85034579a3f726b6cd4bf03f~mv2.jpg

In this episode, hosts Charles MacKenzie and Lyn uncover the true story behind a tainted blood donor known only as Code Donor D20 and how decisions made by Australia’s blood bank led to the death of Lyn’s young son, Martin, in 1989.

But this is not just one family’s tragedy.

Was D20 a tragic anomaly, or evidence of a far wider and hidden practice where thousands of high risk donors were knowingly recruited into the blood supply despite the dangers?

This episode challenges the official narrative and asks a question that still echoes today:
Was this a single failure or a systemic betrayal?
