Police Commissioner Martin Dole told the former Director of Public Prosecutions that Zach Rolfe should be charged with murder over the shooting death of Kumanjayi Walker, but did not have a conflict of interest despite his childhood relationship with the victim’s family, a new ICAC report has found, which also concluded that police management’s failure to record major decisions in the case was “unfortunate” and “surprising” but did not amount to improper conduct.

Former NSW ICAC commissioner Stephen Rushton yesterday released the Office of the ICAC’s second Operation Crimen investigation report, which examined allegations made by former constable Zach Rolfe that police acted improperly in the days following the fatal shooting.

  1. All Territorians litigating with the local NT police should expect the following sentence
    “We cant find any of our own records of the incident! Sorry! Sucks to be you!”

    All Territorians litigating with Legal firms should expect the following sentence
    “We cant find any of our own records of the incident! Sorry! Sucks to be you!”

    • Will the Current CLP Politicians legislate to put in legislative guard rails so Politicians (ie Micheal Gunners storing consultants documents in his trash bin) or the Police (ie This Article) cannot continue to use ” Conveniently ,We don’t have the damning documents to give you”.

  2. I hope they put Christmas decorations on this pack of bulldust

  3. Put that on the other foot imagine if Zac hadn’t done all the paperwork on that day shame on you Dole

  4. In the most corrupt jurisdiction in Australia, the NT ICAC has never prosecuted anyone.

    What happened to the people who falsified their credentials and gave their own references?
    What happened to the Security Manager at Royal Darwin Hospital who wrongly claimed he was indigenous (amongst other things)
    What happened to the Remote Principal who hired friends and family in some remote location?

    How many complaints against Department Employees where handed to the Department for it to investigate itself???

    NT ICAC is the most disgusting honeypot scheme put together by Chief Shelf Stacker Michael Gunner and his cohort of Labour scum.
