Police Complicit Turning Tom Philip's Tragedy into Media Fodder

Andrew Urquhart discusses the ethical concerns surrounding a documentary about Tom Phillips, a man who disappeared with his children, highlighting the sensitivity required when covering such tragedies. He notes the potential conflict of interest with the New Zealand police's involvement, as they have a contract that allows them significant control over the narrative presented in the documentary.

Urquhart emphasises the importance of transparency and integrity within the police force, especially given the sensitive nature of the case and the potential for re-victimisation of the affected families. He calls for a careful examination of the decisions made by police leadership in relation to this documentary.
