Seriously, though, why did you want to do it?

So you went straight into the police force then?

But do you think he was right to?

Yeah.

Where did they put you after you graduated from Police Academy?

Can you just explain, though, for people who aren't familiar with where Mount Druitt is, what it's like?

And what crimes were regularly being reported to you?

So I suppose it's something you can't nail down.

Turf, isn't it?

You can lay it, but you can't nail it down, therefore it's pinchable.

Oh, dear.

That's great.

Vince, tell me about the day you went out on a call in Mount Druitt with your colleague Phil.

Yeah.

How much was attending to scenes of domestic violence, bashing of women is what we're talking about really, a common factor in the police work at the time?

This means attending to some seriously awful scenes.

And I know your own welfare probably isn't front of mind in dealing with these things.

That's the welfare of the woman or the girl or the victim in question.

Nonetheless, it must have worn you down a bit.

Yeah.
