For those of you not following the Saga, to cut a long story short:
The (ex) head of the Police union: Mullet and the ex assistant commissioner (Ashby) have been charged with perjury and misleading the OPI (office of police integrity).
These charges relate to the questioning of these individuals by the OPI regarding the police leaking of a police informants name to Melbourne's underworld which subsequently led to the murder of the informant and his wife.
A former detective has been charged with this murder.
The latest in this saga (see link) is that Ashby has alleged that a Govt frontbencher Pallas knew of the OPI investigation and warned him not to speak to mullet over the phone.
Fellow Victorians out there be warned: YOUR POLICE FORCE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. These are the real criminals. If it goes as high as the assistant police commissioner (2nd top cop) then how can you trust the local senior sergent.
"Uphold the right"??!! "Uphold our bank accounts" more like it!
These guys say they are concerned about road trauma and safety, pfft that's just political spin, to uphold their image in the eyes of the mass media hypnotised public. I fear far more for my and my family's safety from thugs within Victoria Police than from characters such as Mich Gatto and bikie gangs.
I say if the states can't run it give it to the Feds. Get rid of the state police force and hand over the job to Federal police. Vic police should be disbanded. Let the Feds step in and show em how its done. Catch the real criminals aka Vic Pol.
