Leanne Liddle has been named executive director of the NT Police’s Community Resilience and Engagement Command, tasked with designing the agency’s anti-racism strategy, but Police Commissioner Michael Murphy has not made an official public announcement about the appointment amid turmoil over unresolved allegations of systemic racism in the force.
An internal broadcast from the Commissioner was distributed to staff on July 2, that said Ms Liddle would design and deliver the NT Police anti-racism strategy, develop cultural reform activities and lead the agency’s effort to increase its rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees to 30 per cent.
Was there nobody else considered?
She’s going to fix racism!!!
Wowee
Despite all the evidence and numerous racist incidents Minister Potter is still saying their is no systemic racism in the NT police. If its not systemic then it must be a culture of racism much like the culture Minister Potter claims to have experienced in the Army. Potter used Army culture as an excuse for his racist social media posts while he was a Major in the Army. He was supposed to be a highly trained leader of soldiers with the duty to uphold Military culture and discipline but Police Minister Potter reckons the Army was full on racists and that was their culture. No body believes the Army has a systemic racism problem but Potter highlighted and participated in a culture of racism. Maybe NT police has no systemically racist but it may have a culture of racism. Certainty the Minister of Police has a history.
