![07/1968. This is the first picture of Victoria's new police armour. Police have been keeping it secret for 3½ years. It can stop a .32 bullet from 10 feet. The resemblance to Ned Kelly's famous ploughshare armor isn't coincidental. The suit it made of over-lapping two-inch squares of specially toughened high tensile steel. The bodywork is covered with navy-blue cloth. The eye-slits are too narrow for precision rifle sighting, but enough to use a teargas gun. Herald reporter Alan Dearn tries the armour.
