Reportedly the investigating officers were St Kilda fans. No money changed hands, they're just arseholes. It'll all come out in the trial anyway.

I think it would be silly to dismiss it. It is a hell of a lot easier to explain than saying 'we forgot about it'.

how is the vic pol got to do with nsw police corruption?? also youre seriously deluded if you think that the afl paid vic pol to bury the stephen milne charge. you do realise he is due in court and that the police are chasing him due to the victim wanting some justice .

No, it has to do with Victoria Police corruption

To be fair, if you're a white van and a bottle of lube you probably deserve to be interrogated :P

Pedos are everywhere... But police can't stop what they are doing to chase down one bloke who gets a hard on for legionnaires hats.

I'm sure they followed the case up, but it's not like they can get a warrant to interrogate every bloke who owns a white can and a bottle of lube.

You've got some 40 odd Schools in Williamstown and surrounding suburbs. multiple officers at each school. It's completely infeasible. Especially when there are ACTUAL CRIMES being committed.

Soooooo wait for him to snatch someone. Right.

You want them to station police outside schools 6 hours a day outside schools all over west Melbourne in the hope of scaring off this dickhead? Talk about an ineffective use of resources.

There is a pedo on the loose in West Melbourne. No one is protecting the schools or anything.

The other day someone tried to rob a bank. The pigs crawled from all angles in the biggest display of overkill.

Priorities.

VicPol protecting the AFL, NSW Police protecting pedos. Great.

A couple of misbehaving VicPol officers misdirecting an investigation doesn't have much to do with NSWPol's corruption.

That too.

Don't forget the corruption to cover up AFL player Stephen Milne's rape evidence

:lol: This shouldn't surprise anyone, the NSW Police Force is as corrupt and incompetent as they come.

Just now? Fuck. I think it's the whole justice system.

Racial profiling, soft on sexual cases ie rape and sexual assault, a history of sweeping things under the carpet.

Yet they will bring the riot squad for a soccer match.

No wonder I'm losing faith in my police force ](*,)

Hopeless idiots.

New South Wales Police has admitted all records of a senior officer's involvement with a key Catholic Church body set up to deal with sexual abuse cases have been shredded.

This includes briefing papers and all documentation over a five-year period from 1998 to 2003.

The revelations come from Freedom of Information (FOI) documents obtained by the ABC's Lateline program.

The top level group established by the Catholic Church's bishops is known as the Professional Standards Resource Group (PSRG).

It was created in 1997 in response to the Wood Royal Commission into the police and paedophilia, and its key function was to advise the church on specific cases involving clergy and others.

Earlier this year, a NSW Police spokesman told Lateline all the information provided by the church to the serving officer was anonymous.

The names of the victims and the priests had been removed, allegedly at the request of victims who the church said did not want police involvement.

The documents revealed on Lateline were lodged by NSW Greens MLC, David Shoebridge.

They reveal that Inspector Beth Cullen, who was then a senior sergeant with the Sex Crimes Unit, shredded all documents pertaining to her role with the PSRG from 1998 to 2003.
