In early June, an ABC Four Corners investigation into NSW Police showcased first-hand accounts of police using excessive force against the public. These stories alleged an internal police culture that willingly covered up wrongdoing to evade accountability. This is not a novel concept. The 1997 Wood Royal Commission revealed the same cultural deficits in New South Wales. With a sharp rise in complaints and civil suits against NSW Police since 2020, these issues have gained a renewed focus.
