Ben Besant & The Lindt Cafe Siege Pt2

Ben Besant was the tactical officer who shot and killed terrorist Man Monis in the 2014 Lindt Cafe siege. However for a decade he was only publicly referred to as "Officer A" due to a suppression order from the government.
In part 2 of our chat with Ben, he details the moments he shared with Katrina Dawson as she passed in the Lindt Cafe. He also unpacks the painful mental journey that followed from the events of the siege.
