EXCLUSIVE: NT Police Assistant Commissioner Janelle Tonkin sat on two hiring panels that promoted at least two senior police officers with whom she had allegedly been involved in separate sexual relationships but did not declare any conflicts of interest, sources with knowledge of the situation have told the NT Independent, with the matter mysteriously removed from the Justice Alan Blow report into senior police appointments publicly released last October.
The Blow inquiry was called following an ICAC investigation that found previous police commissioner Michael Murphy was “incompetent and negligent”, misused public resources and failed to disclose conflicts of interest to hire his mate Peter Kennon as assistant commissioner.
NT Independent, if you ever worked at NT PFES you would know how the Senior Police and the sleezy Police Union behave when they walk into a office full of woman at the NAB building!
Most of those women are Police Offices wives (thats how recruitment works in PFES).
It would be statistically impossible to be on a PFES recruitment panel and not have banged one of the applicants!
If I was to say . . . I have neither heard, read, seen or commented. Other than to conclude, misconceive, that we territorian(s) en masse, fully attributable?
It is most welcoming to see these Executives have their public affairs aired… only because they sit in judgement of so many others, calling things into question such as, integrity.
For Dole and Tonkin to keep their generous remunerations whilst lacking any integrity in their private or public lives would be a miscarriage of justice. If their subordinates were to have their integrity brought into question in a similar fashion, they would be dealt with severely. … unless they were currently “in favour”…
Only when those holding the highest office are held to the same standard as the lowest employee, can we truly say we have equity in the workplace.
We all know “Rules are for thee, not for me.”
Maybe Tonkin needs to experience being on the Dole again.
Exactly!
The blue line is very thin these days
