I saw the saga unfold but I would think that a female politician wouldn't have seen the live broadcasts which included that desperate man in the crush shouting "You're killing us" to the policeman who refused to help.

Until recently, not one investigation/enquiry set up by parliament showed the police to be at fault. How many outsiders including the prime minister were to know that behind closed doors the police were manipulating and/or withholding evidence?
