Ryan Bridge: The clock for Coster is now ticking · Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

  Speaker 1: Costa is a dead man walking at this point. Anyone
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: not completely brainwashed during COVID could see that there was
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: just something a bit off about him, and this IPCA
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: report is proof that basically they were right. He knew
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: about this so called affair mix skimming heads the woman
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: had worked for police. He didn't ask the questions he
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: should have, he promotes MC skimming, didn't tell the people
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: he should have told about dodgy stuff, which makes it
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: look well, just all the more dodgy, doesn't it. In
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: August I asked Costa about mix skimming. A lot of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: your colleagues have said that they were sort of shocked
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to find out. Were you guys mates. I'm just not
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: going to come in at the moment. I'm sorry, do
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you does it make you uncomfortable seeing him, you know,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: walking into court again? I just won't comment by on.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's a really disturbing situation, but I'm not
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: going to go into this until its spind was on.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: So no answers then, and still no answers now. We've
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: asked to speak to him this morning. He's on leave.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Nikola Willis gets tangled up in this too. Unfortunately for her,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: she recommended Costa for his current job. He's still got
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: five years on his contract. She says, she's appalled, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: she can't fire him. That's a job for Brian Roache,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any doubt that he's going
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to get the sack unless he resigns first. Of course,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the whole thing is an absolute cluster. In a big
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: government job like police commissioner, you got to cross the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: t's and dot the eyes. It's a seven hundred thousand
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: dollars a year job, and Costa wasn't up to the job.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: If he doesn't quit his current one, it's only a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: matter of time now before it's taken from him. The
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: clock is ticking for Costa and for the front line. Sadly,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: respect and integrity take a lifetime to earn in a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: moment to lose. They're the ones who'll cop the backlash.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: They're the ones who have to actually talk to real
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: people every day, and as of six o'clock last night, sadly,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: their jobs just became a whole lot harder. For more
