This issue does affect all of us, this person was in custody.

The authorities had an obligation to ensure the wellbeing of this person and they failed that duty, this needs to be investigated and protocols need to be put in place to prevent this happening again.

A friend of mine died years ago due to a loophole in a certain law, his family contacted their council member and the law was amended to prevent this type of accidental death across Australia.

For one guy, 1 out of 23 million at the the time and they passed a law. So I ask how is this different to you?
