The correct answer is that a person can report the matter to a specialized body or lodge a formal complaint. This is because the police in Australia are independent of the government and are required to follow the same laws as all other citizens. This accountability ensures that any unfair treatment or illegal action by an officer can be investigated through proper legal channels.
