Broome contends that to execute a speedy trial motion at his pretrial hearing was an objective of the representation which his attorney was required to, but did not, abide by.
Broome argues that his declaration was a request for counsel, that the confession which was obtained after his declaration is inadmissible, and that therefore the trial court erred when it denied his motion to suppress evidence of his confession.
Broome, to successfully establish his self-defense claim, was required to demonstrate the fact that he had a reasonable belief the use of deadly force was needed to prevent either serious bodily injury to himself or the commission of a forcible felony.

 Australia: A criminal justice system weighted against Aboriginal people
Police cells were employed whenever: prison accommodation was full; or pending (in remote locations) intermittent escorts to prisons; or by arrangement with the prison authorities because it was judged more economical or humane to let prisoners remain in police accommodation nearer to their community rather than remove them to considerable distances to prisons.
The police stations did not have the facilities to allow prisoners to move around or exercise adequately; or did not have the privacy which a prisoner of more than a few hours is entitled to expect; or did not have provisions which would allow prisoners adequately to occupy their minds.
In the 19th century wing for sentenced prisoners at Long Bay Gaol, prisoners were confined to their cells for longer periods (normally 4.30 pm to 7.00 am) but they had screened lavatories within their cells as well as electricity outlets to operate radios or television sets.
