    Good morning to all Members of the Jury, it is my privilege to represent the Members of the Queensland Police Force again in this case before you today. Members of the Jury, I do not know about you, but I certainly remember the visits police officers used to make to primary schools where they would talk to us then primary school children about their role in the community and advise us on keeping safe. These visits certainly helped to foster in me a respect for the police, a trust that they were in fact the peacekeepers of the community. However; the thought-provoking documentary The Tall Man portrays the Queensland Police in rather an unworthy light. Through the various film aesthetics employed such as editing, camera shots, juxtaposition…

    Early in the film, we see what we think is sadly familiar footage: Construction workers and huge trucks and cranes, at work in the footprint of one of the WTC towers. At first I thought this was film of the clean-up after 9/11. As the scene develops, I realized I was watching an early stage in the construction of the towers. The film shows the towers growing, huge steel beams being lifted, the puzzle being put together. As it happens, 9/11 is not even mentioned in the film, which is the right decision, I think.…
