Police Minister Annette King says
she is appalled by a poster suggesting a career with the police is a way to
hear "great rape stories". The poster has been put up in It follows the acquittal last week
of the suspended Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards and convicted
rapists Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum on 1980s sex charges. Ms King says the poster is
"ugly and vicious" and whoever is behind it is ignoring the fact
the prosecutions against the three men were taken by police officers. She says she understands that
people are upset about the recent trials, but the poster attacks all police. Ms King says the court cases have
had an impact on police morale. Police have condemned the poster.
Superintendent Grant O'Fee says it is unhelpful when police are really
focused on domestic violence and rape. |
