Tustin quizzed about June 16
Mr Richmond moves on to the events of June 16.
He presses Tustin on her claim that Hughes was alone with Arthur in the bathroom between 1pm and 1.10pm.
The barrister puts it to Tustin she has never mentioned that previously and is now 'using that window to your advantage' after listening to the evidence in relation to Arthur's alleged salt poisoning.
Tustin states she was not asked about it previously, adding she was only asked to account for her own whereabouts at that time following a recent report from one of the expert medical witnesses concerning the salt findings.
Mr Richmond interjects.
Judge Wall explains that conversations between Tustin and her legal team are 'privileged' and should remain confidential. He reminds her to speak only of what she can remember.
Mr Richmond asks Tustin why she did not take videos of Arthur acting 'bizarre' and banging his head on June 16 - like she had done for previous incidents.
Tustin: "His dad wasn't interested. He didn't listen to the voice notes and recordings. It just seemed he wouldn't listen to a video."
Mr Richmond: "You weren't taking photographs because you knew full well you were going completely over the top with him."
Tustin: "No."
