And so he took our statement or let us make our statement.
And then about a year later, it landed on Paul Stamoulis' desk in Bankstown Area Command in New South Wales.

I personally think that's just nightmare.
But it motivated Paul.
And when we were getting knockbacks from people who thought, you know, this woman's a bit Lulu, you know, there's something very wrong with her because she can remember everything, everything Daddy said, everything that he did, what he said, when he said it, how he said it.
And people really struggle to believe that.
But to me, I mean, when they tell you, now this is just my, one of my things that annoys me is,
that you cannot get justice if you were abused under the age of five, unless you are still a child when you talk about it, which is often impossible to do.
And why?

Rape your child before the age of five and they'll never get justice.
