Victoria's chief commissioner investigated over alleged failure on bullying

A recent complaint to Victoria's workplace watchdog has accused Mr Ashton of ignoring the recommendations of a report into the alleged conduct of former superintendent Dean Stevenson in 2012.Mr Ashton, who was then deputy commissioner, ordered a new probe which allowed the former high-ranking officer to remain in the job, according to a complaint by former officer David Bishop, who was an alleged victim of Mr Stevenson.

A letter to one of the alleged victims from acting Assistant Commissioner of Professional Standards Command, Graham Kent, appears to confirm the existence of inappropriate images. He accuses Mr Ashton of failing to provide a safe work environment under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which obliges WorkSafe Victoria to investigate the complaint.

"His behaviour was well known to other superintendents, but no one wanted to say anything. It was all about arse covering," the source said. At the time, Police Association secretary Wayne Gatt said Victoria Police needed to improve its response to workplace conflict to ensure it was "consistently fair, transparent and robust".

The Brotherhood at it’s finest.

Lawyer X, assaults on citizens, various police before the courts for serious matters, culture issues, nightclub defamation findings, rampant gangs and on the list goes. Great job Lisa Neville still backing your man in. Victoria Crime State.

That's a bloody big arse that needs covering....

All about corruption...........drug squads and armed robbery squads don't get sacked every day.

I’m amazed this bloke is keeping his job!
