- I see you’re packing up.
- We’re moving back to Avondale College.

:41:06
- My husband’s study leave came through.
- I’m glad I dropped by.

:41:09
- Gathering information for the inquest.
- It’s about time something was done.

:41:14
The Northern Territory police
have been hopeless.

:41:17
I’m from the Northern Territory police.
:41:19
Oops.
:41:21
- This is my husband Michael.
- Graham Charlwood.

:41:26
(woman) Feeling is high in Alice Springs
:41:28
as the first sessions
of the Azaria Chamberlain inquest start.

:41:32
(man) Alice Springs is
the focus of the nation’s media.

:41:37
- Do you still have faith in your religion?
- Our faith has been strengthened by this.

:41:42
Pastor, you believe Azaria’s death
was an act of God?

:41:44
Mrs Chamberlain, is it true you felt
depressed after the birth of Azaria?

:41:50
Was Azaria’s death a punishment
for travelling on your Sabbath?

:41:53
Is it not the case that you wrote
some sort of thesis on dingoes at college?

:41:58
"(Lindy)" It is not the case.
That’s a press invention.

:42:01
That arose from the "Woman’s Day" article.
:42:04
I thought it came from a newspaper.
:42:06
Was the "Woman’s Day" article accurate?
:42:09
No. It was the most
inaccurate article of all,

:42:12
or at least of the ones that I’ve read so far.
:42:16
In fact there are only about five reporters
who write exactly what you say.

:42:19
The rest of them use a little bit of licence.
:42:22
(murmuring)
:42:26
Perhaps I could read you
something from Dr Brown’s report.

:42:31
”There were several small cuts
in the baby blankets,

:42:34
but there was no evidence
of tooth marks.”

:42:38
Well? Teeth cut, don’t they?
:42:41
A forensic dentist finds
no evidence of tooth marks.

:42:44
- Does that concern you?
- Of course it concerns me.

:42:47
But if he can’t say what happened,
how can he say what didn’t happen?

:42:52
So you’re not prepared
to accept his expertise in...

:42:55
I’m not saying that. I’m saying what
I’d Iike is a full answer, not a half answer.
