Having organised most of the relevant interviews for our feature, it came time to head out and interview Bruce Thomas – Senior Investigator at Ballarat Police Station.

We chose bruce as an interviewee as he is one of the senior police members who head out to Rainbow Serpent each year to police the festival – the same festival which harboured 4 sexual assaults in 2016.

The interview went relatively well, although Bruce and I did clash on our opinions of the way in which drugs are policed and looked upon in our society towards the end.

I was able to grab some great material off Bruce that would be able to be used in our feature and that would add a counterpoint to the opinions already made by Carolyn Worth from C.A.S.A.
