Police accepts the findings
of the IPCA report into complaints against Deputy
Commissioner Wally Haumaha.
The IPCA has investigated
three complaints and concluded that Deputy Commissioner
Haumaha’s behaviour did not constitute bullying.
Police
Commissioner Mike Bush said while the investigation did not
find evidence of bullying, the report has raised issues he
is taking seriously.
“These are matters that I will deal
with as Commissioner of Police.
“I expect high standards
from all my staff, but especially members of my
Executive.
“The IPCA report clarifies a number of
matters that have been traversed in the media in recent
months.”
An independent Inquiry completed in November
found that the process followed to appoint the Deputy
Commissioner was sound and that there was no available and
relevant information omitted from the process.
“It is
good to now have both the IPCA report and Inquiry
completed.
The independent examination of all matters
raised has been an important
process.”

Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn. Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik... More
