The Police Minister is labelling Tom Phillips a monster

A police officer remains in hospital after a shootout with the fugitive Marokopa father on Monday morning.

Images of numerous campsites have been published by Police, showing the conditions Phillips and his children were living in over the four years.

Mark Mitchell says no responsible parent would inflict this on their children.

He says Phillips kept his kids away from education and medical support, and used them as human shields in violent offending.

Meanwhile, a court hearing's taking place today, over an urgent injunction, preventing the media from publishing certain case details.
