Families of children who died in a primary school jumping castle tragedy in Tasmania want teachers and the then-principal to give evidence at a looming inquest.
However, the request is being opposed by lawyers representing the state, who argue requiring them to give evidence in person could be re-traumatising.
Six children were killed and three seriously injured when a wind gust lifted the castle and inflatable balls into the air at Hillcrest Primary School on December 16, 2021.
