We blogged earlier this week about a damning report issued by the Victorian Privacy Commissioner concerning the handling of personal information by the Police and the Office of Police Integrity.
The Age today has an opinion piece by the State Political Editor Paul Austin.
Austin describes the incidents revealed in the report as a “smorgasbord of stuff ups” and says that it shows long standing systemic problems in Police security systems. He supports the Privacy Commissioner’s call for the Police Commissioner, the Police Integrity Commissioner (the Ombudsman) and the Premier to clean up the mess.
