Picture: NCA NewsWire / Andrew HenshawSome of the new staff would also be tasked with supporting Victoria Police employees who are victims of family violence. “The reason we’re doing it is to make sure we have a thorough and consistent investigation in relation to people who offend in respect to family violence, even if they are police officers, and that they’re treated the same way other members of the public are,” he said.

Among the new recruits were Adelaide Sheriff and Nigel Lee, who both decided to join the force after losing their jobs as flight attendants when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020.

States slap new rules on Victorian travellers after shock new local caseStates and territories have been quick to hit Victorian travellers with new requirements after a shock new case of COVID-19 was recorded. madness Let's claw back those unnecessary tax payer funded executive bonuses and incentivise the quarantine workers for successfully managing hotel quarantine. Time to rename Hotel Quarantine to Hotel Infection Sites. People go in clear of Covid and come out infected. So much for these abominations protecting the people.

SA police to proactively expose history of domestic violence offenders to partners under new proposalThe South Australian government is looking at introducing a scheme that would require police to tell people at risk of domestic violence about the history of their potential partner or current partner. That’s good. They need to do it about stalkers too - I have one, 50’s, neighbour, fixated, extremely cunning - coppers won’t share relevant history. Such a good idea. Women can make proper decisions about relationships with that knowledge. Fantastic news.
