At 27, Anne Vogler found herself interviewing a victim of childhood rape.

While working at Argos, Detective Inspector Vogler worked on historical institutionalised paedophilia cases involving churches and schools, and it was there that she worked the case mentioned earlier, which began with an anonymous phonecall."It was an anonymous caller who gave me two names; one was a paedophile, the other was a victim. Then they just hung up."

Over an 18-month period Detective Inspector Vogler investigated the case, which blew out to involve four victims who had been molested as children by a trusted family friend. One was his granddaughter."He was jailed for about a decade I think, and last I heard he had cancer, and I'm okay with that."After working at Argos, Detective Inspector Vogler moved to Hendra CIB as a Plain Clothes Constable in 2002, and worked towards her detective appointment, which she received in 2004.

"Even when I got the role of Detective Sergeant I was told I was being watched, because I think that I was one of the first female Detective Sergeants in CIB on the north side [of Brisbane]," she said. When applying for Detective Sergeant positions, Detective Inspector Vogler said she was told outright by one officer in charge that she would never have a position in his office, because he had"big personalities to manage".

Detective Inspector Vogler said as she began progressing further through the ranks in CIB she noticed less women at her rank, and even fewer women above her in those investigative roles as her superiors.

A crisis of underinsurance threatens to scar rural Australia permanentlyAll too often the disaster of having your home and possessions razed by fire is followed by the disaster of realising by how much you are underinsured. Don’t you dare turn this into ‘well, people just needed to pay more to insurance companies’. They will do whatever they can to not pay out. Lobby them to pay a legit rebuild amount to everyone who had a policy, regardless. If your budget is tight unless you have highly valuable contents make sure the building is insured to the max.

'It's all starting to fill in': fears Victoria and NSW fires mergingFire crews were pulled away from a massive Victorian fire overnight, which could soon merge with another fire across the border. If all of the council areas have used the same ‘do not touch the bush’ tactic, then naturally fires will have enough fuel to keep burning & fragile humanity can’t stop it until fuel is gone or rain comes. Nature at work.

Scott Morrison's leadership style: it's just not cricketOne of the best parts about being an Australian PM is that you spend time with the Australian cricket team. Conversely, one of the worst parts of being on the cricket team must be that you have to spend time with the PM. markhumphries One of the worse part is reading shit about himself in the SMH markhumphries Morrison doesn’t govern, he rules; badly, and only for the rich, over the rest. markhumphries The feral pile-on, love seeing the spin people get themselves in over Morrison.

Black Caps' SCG resistance can't mask one-sided summerAs New Zealand prepare to go gentle into the good night, it's hard not to wish for a more competitive summer, writes Dan Colasimone. Poor bastards come here and the entire country is on fire. No doubt unnerved that some right wing religious nut job is going shoot them all dead. All the test cricket this summer has been pathetic.
