Queensland Government Buried DV Report: What We Know

The Liberal National government in Queensland had repeatedly promised to “put victims at the heart” of justice policies. However, an exclusive report reveals that a panel of victim-survivors of domestic violence saw their findings buried after they slammed police handling of cases. The report recommended a “civilian review mechanism” to allow victims to escalate complaints about police conduct without fear of retaliation.

Incoming Labor president Kate Ellis also warned that toxicity in politics is spilling into the community, with threats against MPs’ safety limiting how elected officials do their jobs. This comes as a separate report shows a surgeon in New South Wales was banned for failing to detect cancer and operating on the wrong end of a patient’s bowel.
