Labor senator's Anzac tribute set to explicit rap — chair of law enforcement committee couldn't enforce her own playlist

Senator Helen Polley posted an Anzac Day video with a US rapper's explicit track playing over wreath-laying footage, then deleted it. She chairs parliament's law enforcement committee.

Helen Polley, chair of the law enforcement committee, can't enforce the audio settings on her own phone. The senator who's meant to vet the federal police vetted a Ching-y track over the Last Post and clicked publish. If she ran the AFP we'd be raiding the wrong house to a Pitbull remix.
