Tonight, Four Corners closes its season with reporter Louise Milligan investigating allegations of sexism, bullying and harassment within Victoria Police.
With a former officer’s death raising questions about the force’s internal culture, the program examines what investigators uncovered and why her family is calling for a public inquest.
Coming up tonight:
A police officer with more than two decades in the force commits suicide. Her bereaved family looks for answers, but a coroner’s report doesn’t offer any solace.
Months later, Victoria Police’s internal integrity division is tasked with investigating activities at the station where she worked, exposing an ugly culture of sexism, bullying and harassment, conduct that Victoria’s Police Commissioner Mike Bush condemns as “unacceptable”.
With questions raised around material withheld from the Coroner, the officer’s family say the force failed her. They want a public inquest.
In this episode of Four Corners, reporter Louise Milligan investigates who’s policing the police and reveals what happened when investigators exposed a hidden trail of illegal and unethical conduct.
