1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Well, it now transpires that police are allowing a documentary

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: to be made about Tom Phillips and their hunt for him.

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: It's being made by Julie CHRISTI made lots of great

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: television in the past, reality TV showmaker. There are camera

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: crews following police officers being given access, if you want

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: to call that behind the scenes, you know, the kind

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: of access that the average media crew can't get. Now, personally,

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: I think this documentary needs to be killed off immediately.

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: I do not blame the police for saying yes to

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: this documentary in the first place. If it hadn't ended

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: this way with Tom Phillips trying to kill a police

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: officer and then being shot dead in response in front

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: of his daughter, if that hadn't happened, and of various

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: other things hadn't ended the way that they had, it

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: might have actually been a good idea to do this documentary.

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: It might have shown the efforts that the police have

17
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: gone to over the last four years to track them down,

18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: the consideration that they've put into it, the care that

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: they've taken. It might actually have been really good pr

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: for the police. But now what it is is mainly

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: just a threat to these kids' future. It is going

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: to be hard enough for these children to find a

23
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: way to be normal in a country that is obsessed

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: with what has happened to them over the last four years.

25
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: By the time that this documentary comes out, might be

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: two years, five years, ten years. Who knows. Documentary is

27
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: not put together fast. By the time it comes out,

28
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: who knows. Hopefully we will have moved on as a

29
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: country and be interested in other things. And all a

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: documentary like this is going to do is remind us

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: and the world who are fascinated by what happened to

32
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: the Phillips kids, about this case all over again. And

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: we will hit Google and we will remind ourselves of

34
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: what the kids look like, and what their names are,

35
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: and what happened to them in the bush. Children should

36
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: never be punished and tortured for the stupid things that

37
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: their parents do and the bad decisions that their parents make.

38
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: They deserve the rights to as much anonymity as possible,

39
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: and just the chance to live a life free of

40
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: what their parents have done. I don't think that the

41
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: media that I belong to should publish their photos anymore.

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: No one should take a photo of them as they

43
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: look right now, Having come out of the bush and

44
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: this documentary needs to be called off. For more from
