In this episode, we examine how Paul Reynolds’ police honours funeral was approved.

Through Right to Information documents, we look at how the decision was made, who was involved, and what was known at the time. The episode also returns to the final sitting day in Parliament, where Dr Rosalie Woodruff raised further questions about unresolved issues surrounding Reynolds and the institutional response to his conduct before and after his death.

Using official records and parliamentary proceedings, this episode continues our examination of how decisions were made and why key questions remain unanswered.

This episode references extracts from official Right to Information documents and parliamentary proceedings. These materials are presented for context only. No wrongdoing is alleged
