@KarenWyld Its astounding that in a liberal democracy, Police feel its appropriate to intimidate an expert witness, using dud search warrants.

NSW Police has paid out over $148 million towards 'civil claims for police misconduct' over the last five financial years
from 2016 to 2021 for various controversial tactics and conducts. (Source:

Hard to imagine any major changes for a drop in the water.

Queensland Police,
The roots of the problem are deep. From recruitment (Valuing brawn over brain and soul); to training and cultural awareness (tick box culture); to mentorship; to organisational structure (separation of duties); to technological controls(data privacy and monitoring); lack of shared mission and vision (philosophy); lack of respect for human rights (ethics over politics); and lack of respect for transparency and accountability (protectionism of police over public).
Until there is more publicly said about how Queensland Police will change, and reports published of the specific plans,
… everything that is said so far are akin to hollow promises that a repeat DVA offender says to their former partner(s).
Queensland Police as a collective have gaslighted and turned a blind eye to the problems for far to long for the public to take an apology on face value.
