Domestic violence victims’ addresses sent to offenders by Queensland police in major blunder · The Slippery Slope

• 0:13
  We have had another failure within Queensland Police and
• 0:17
  we've seen Police Minister Mark Ryan make an apology.
• 0:22
  Before I get into the report, I just want to refresh your memory
• 0:25
  in case you've forgotten on past performances by Queensland
• 0:30
  Police Minister Mark Ryan. Still can't believe he's the
• 0:34
  police minister. Still can't believe he hasn't
• 0:36
  been booted out. Please, please get him voted out
• 0:41
  of the next election. Unfortunately, he's still the
• 0:45
  police minister. I think he sees the writing on
• 0:47
  the wall. He knows he'll be booted.
• 0:49
  Hopefully he will. Anyway, just to refresh your
• 0:51
  memory before we get into the report, remember what he said
• 0:54
  about because he's got no respect for police in general
• 0:58
  and no respect for anyone that stands up against him for
• 1:01
  justice, for right? Because when he was wrong, he
• 1:04
  just says, hey, who cares, We'll just get new police.
• 1:07
  So remember this. We can even graduate more
• 1:10
  recruits if we need to, so there's sufficient resources
• 1:13
  there. So there you go.
• 1:14
  I just wanted to remind you of what Mark Ryan said a couple of
• 1:17
  years ago when, you know, they're having issues with
• 1:20
  recruiting police because both he and former commissioner,
• 1:25
  Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll, had so much disdain for
• 1:29
  the officers that were actually police were serving at the time
• 1:34
  that anyone who said, well, no, no, we don't want to get the
• 1:38
  jab. And it's now being proven, now
• 1:40
  being proven in court that that shouldn't have happened.
• 1:43
  But anyone who came against them and said no, we don't want to
• 1:46
  get the jab or they said we, we don't really care what you
• 1:49
  think, what you believe. We don't care about you.
• 1:51
  We don't support you as people, as police.
• 1:55
  Mark Ryan stands up and says, we'll just get new ones.
• 1:57
  Easy peasy. Just get new police, Mark Ryan.
• 2:01
  I'm not going to say anymore because it'll just be
• 2:04
  disparaging. I don't want to just I don't
• 2:08
  want to be that person anyway. We've got to talk about this
• 2:11
  other story that's come up the last the last week and Queens
• 2:20
  and police continuing to fail. But you've got to look at the
• 2:26
  leadership within Queens and police.
• 2:28
  It all starts at the top. It it, I think a lot of it comes
• 2:31
  back to who we've been recruiting, the types of people
• 2:35
  we've been recruiting over the last, the last probably decade.
• 2:40
  And also the leadership inability to lead, not holding
• 2:45
  the right people accountable, trying to spread the blame.
• 2:49
  And when it's funny because they will really target some people
• 2:55
  and put all their blame. Like what happened with the the
• 2:57
  mandates. OK, they came down on police
• 3:01
  officers who did not believe in the mandates, who did not
• 3:03
  believe in getting the jab and treated them like criminals,
• 3:06
  opened investigations, treating these people like criminals,
• 3:10
  questioning them as if they were criminals.
• 3:14
  Yet when it's other things that may make the organisation not
• 3:19
  look good, not reflect well on the organisation, then, you
• 3:24
  know, then it's then it's kind of playing how, how do you say,
• 3:30
  how do you say it like trying to be a bit of a magician and, you
• 3:33
  know, taking the focus on one hand, hey, look at, look at this
• 3:37
  hand. Don't look at the other hand
• 3:38
  that's actually doing the magic trick and deceiving you.
• 3:42
  Let's get into the story. This is about domestic violence,
• 3:46
  domestic victims within Queensland who again have been
• 3:49
  let down by Queensland police And, and what have Queensland
• 3:53
  police done? Well, they haven't, haven't
• 3:59
  accepted responsibility properly.
• 4:02
  And in my humble opinion this is a reflection on poor leadership
• 4:07
  within Australia, within the Queensland within, within law
• 4:12
  enforcement, within Australia. We see so many stories, police
• 4:17
  leadership failing, failing you and I, the community, the people
• 4:22
  they're supposed to serve. So and and very much failing
• 4:27
  their own offices at times. And we see here, OK, let's bring
• 4:30
  this up picture of Mark Ryan, probably in my opinion the worst
• 4:36
  police minister we have had for a generation or two or three,
• 4:41
  who knows this this headline domestic violence victims
• 4:46
  addresses sent to offenders by Queensland police in major
• 4:50
  blunder State government apologised for data system
• 4:53
  breach as victim says it left her completely defeated, broken,
• 4:58
  scared and worried. There he is, Mark Ryan, he says
• 5:02
  he's sorry, very sorry. That'll help her.
• 5:05
  The addresses of domestic violence victims have been
• 5:07
  shared with offenders by Queensland Police, including a
• 5:10
  vulnerable woman. Now if you have been the victim,
• 5:14
  I got to say when, when you're involved with, when you see
• 5:17
  domestic violence up close and personal from a police officer.
• 5:20
  I remember when I was back when I was in on the, on the beats,
• 5:24
  just in GDS general, general duties policing, you know,
• 5:28
  there, there's a lot of faults that can be put in both camps at
• 5:33
  times. But so often you would see
• 5:36
  victims, genuine victims. You can, you can tell that they
• 5:41
  were, they were a victim of the cycle of domestic violence.
• 5:46
  And so many times they could, they couldn't see, they couldn't
• 5:50
  see the way out. And you have to tip your cap.
• 5:52
  You have to take your hat off to the ones that could, that were
• 5:55
  able to dig themselves out of that vicious cycle of domestic
• 6:00
  violence. Anyway, let's go on with this
• 6:04
  story. The addresses of of domestic
• 6:09
  violence victims have been shared with offenders by
• 6:12
  Queensland police. So the state government
• 6:14
  apologised on Thursday after it emerged a woman felt completely
• 6:18
  defeated when her personal information was exposed by the
• 6:22
  serious data breach. The Premier, Steven Miles,
• 6:26
  confirmed addresses of victims in at least five matters,
• 6:29
  including domestic violence cases, had been sent to
• 6:32
  offenders by police, sparking a review.
• 6:35
  A victim said she was told by police to move.
• 6:39
  Just just go up and move. Hey, it's, we all know it's very
• 6:43
  easy to move addresses. It's extremely easy.
• 6:49
  Sometimes you've got to wonder about what process of these
• 6:53
  people, bureaucracy, bureaucrats.
• 6:56
  So she was just told, hey, get up and move after her address
• 6:59
  was shared by the computer issue the opposition revealed on
• 7:05
  Thursday. Now let me give you a little bit
• 7:08
  of insight into Queensland Police Services There they talk,
• 7:14
  they say, oh, it was a computer issue.
• 7:17
  There must have been. There would have been, I
• 7:19
  guarantee. I would bet.
• 7:22
  I'd bet a peanut butter sandwich that, because I love peanut
• 7:26
  butter sandwiches. I would bet you that there's no
• 7:29
  computer issue without a human element.
• 7:32
  There's someone behind it who's just had a bit of a brain
• 7:36
  explosion. There's a human element, but yet
• 7:40
  it's blamed on computer issues because in this day and age, we
• 7:43
  just actually, Kim QPS have done this for a long time.
• 7:46
  It's a computer issue. I remember when I was back, even
• 7:49
  at in GDS, you would hear this is a computer issue.
• 7:52
  We'll go. Someone had to be pressing the
• 7:54
  buttons. The computer's not just
• 7:56
  operating by itself and saying, well, let's just do this.
• 7:59
  There was a human element there. Someone's there, hit and send.
• 8:03
  Someone's there saying, oh, let's add this person in.
• 8:05
  Someone's there saying this is a good idea without thinking, but
• 8:11
  QPS don't like to reveal the human elements if it reflects
• 8:16
  too badly on them unless there's something good that unless they
• 8:19
  see the benefit for themselves. And that's what happened with
• 8:22
  the mandates they thought they were on the right side of, they
• 8:26
  would be on the right side of jar of history.
• 8:29
  And now Mark Ryan, worst police minister ever in the history of
• 8:32
  Queensland, is still here. Now it's looking bad for me
• 8:36
  anyway. Police allegedly later organised
• 8:39
  for CCTV cameras to be installed at her house.
• 8:41
  Because that will help. That's the kind of rubbish that
• 8:45
  people do. Keep going, Jason.
• 8:49
  A letter to the victim from the Police Minister's office Police
• 8:53
  Minister's Office Crikey showed the matter had been referred to
• 8:56
  the corruption watchdog. The Opposition Victim Support
• 9:00
  spokesperson Laura Gerber claimed the office office of the
• 9:05
  Police Minister Mark Ryan, worst police minister ever in the
• 9:08
  history of Queensland, organised for the CCTV to be set up at the
• 9:12
  victim's house. That's, you know, that's not so
• 9:14
  we can actually help and organise.
• 9:16
  Let's not put security outside the house.
• 9:18
  Let's just have CCTV set up at the house so we can document the
• 9:22
  crime if and when it actually happened.
• 9:24
  So at least then we've got the evidence to say, Oh yeah, it
• 9:26
  happened. So in the referred to the matter
• 9:30
  to the Crime and Corruption Commission, helpful.
• 9:33
  The Labour government said it first heard about the data
• 9:36
  breach after a media inquiry in July.
• 9:39
  Data breach where someone, someone pressed the button said
• 9:44
  this is a good idea, let's send it.
• 9:46
  But the Liberal National Party opposition accused the
• 9:48
  government of knowing about it for months.
• 9:50
  It said the victim, who claimed police told her to relocate
• 9:53
  before installing CCTV, had contacted Ryan on multiple
• 9:56
  occasions between March and May. Multiple occasions.
• 10:00
  Worst police op minister ever knew about it for months, Didn't
• 10:05
  act. I feel completely defeated,
• 10:07
  broken, scarred and worried, her email email said to the police
• 10:10
  to the minister. But Ryan said every complaint
• 10:14
  that came through his office was referred to police.
• 10:17
  It's not correct to say that matters weren't acted upon
• 10:19
  because every matter follows very rigorous, comprehensive and
• 10:24
  serious process. Oh, said the worst police
• 10:29
  minister in Queensland's history, Mark Ryan, the man who
• 10:33
  said when, you know, he screwed over him and former police
• 10:37
  Commissioner Katarina Carroll just screwed over all those
• 10:41
  police that didn't agree with the mandate.
• 10:43
  They said he said, hey, just get new ones because he's got no
• 10:48
  flippant idea on what it takes to recruit and train good
• 10:53
  police. No idea, No idea yet.
• 11:00
  Yet another example of the QLD governments of the Queensland
• 11:04
  Police, of the Minister or Queensland Police Service
• 11:09
  failing leadership in this nation, in this state, in our
• 11:14
  Queensland Police Service consistently continues to fail
• 11:18
  the community that they're supposed to serve.
• 11:21
  And we've got what's your tongue Jay?
• 11:25
  We've got people like the Honourable Mark Ryan supposedly
• 11:33
  serving this community. Please vote him out.
• 11:40
  Deplorable. Worst police minister ever, ever
• 11:46
  in the history of this state. That is just my opinion.
• 11:55
  I am Jay Fallon and you've been listening to The Slippery Slope.
• 12:02
  And say it isn't we.
