Let's start with the case of Brad Kelson.
Can you explain who he is and what happened to him?
And in regards to the allegations of collusion, what's really interesting is there were allegations that the statements of these police officers were copied because there was a key spelling mistake in a number of those statements, including let go of my leg, but of spelt O double F.
Could you believe that?
And also your investigation, Dylan, exposes the horrific assault against Brad, but it was also the subsequent which you've gone into, the cover-up, which is just often as bad as the original crime.
And what about Jodie Knott?
You also talk about Jodie Knott, which is a horrific case and she has subsequently, very sadly, passed away.
Dylan, in the case of poor Jodie, as you mentioned earlier, she suffered terribly from schizophrenia.
She was clearly in the middle of a psychotic episode.
She was naked and incredibly vulnerable.
To what degree are police trained in mental health or to have a mental health person attend, especially if she had had history of mental health episodes?
So Dylan, important to mention, there are many great police officers that put their lives and their families' lives on the line every day to go out and keep the community safe.
Do you think it's more important than ever that people that do the wrong thing are held accountable?
It's such an important question.
We appreciate you joining us and we look forward to your report on Four Corners tonight, airing on the ABC at 8.30.
Thanks so much, Dylan.
That was Dylan Welch, a journalist with the ABC's Four Corners program.
