Thankyou Grassy.. Lets hope what goes around comes around.
Thankyou FootyGoss for editing my earlier post with names. Lets not get to paranoid as my subject was a Matter of public record and it came out in the royal commission.
You cant be sued for quoting Newspaper articles…
To expand on the subject Which gives me great Joy.
I refer to David Caporn who has got a nice job with FESA and was selected for the job by a X police officer (Cronyism?). This was investigated and nothing came of it.
Lets remember this “person” left the Police Force after being told he was to be reprimaned Punished over the Mallard case (the tip of he iceberg)
As a person who believes in the saying
“For evil to exist - good men must do nothing” I will continue…
First instalment (Goss if you want to delete my posts it is your decision)

THE Perth sports identity at the centre of allegations of high-level
police interference defended himself yesterday against child sexual
abuse accusations, claiming the relationship with his accuser
was ``an affair I’d had when she was married’’.
The man, whose name has been suppressed at the police royal commission,
denied being involved in any crime—although he was not specifically
questioned about claims he molested the woman, codenamed
Q1, over 15 years, from the time she was aged 13.
The man, Q2, was called to the inquiry to testify about whether he
was given special treatment in 1998-99 because of his profile and
his association with Deputy Commissioner Bruce Brennan, with whom
he shares an interest in cycling.
He denied ever having spoken to Mr Brennan about Q1’s complaint, and
said the arrival on his doorstep of child abuse detectives came
``out of the blue’’.
His wife called his lawyer, Michael McPhee, as soon as he was taken
to the police station, where a video interview was stopped within
minutes of it having begun.
It was a coincidence his lawyer’s name and telephone number were written
as a diary entry for the day before his arrest, he said. ``I
wasn’t expecting anyone to arrive,’’ he told the commission.
Q2 said he had assumed the police were visiting because of Q1’s complaint,
which he had become aware of when visiting Q1’s mother some
time before the police investigation.
She had screamed at him about his treatment of Q1.
``When the abuse first started, and she was yelling and screaming,
I thought it was about the affair I’d had with Q1 when she was married,’’
he told the commission. ``She used the words, `you shouldn’t
be working in schools’.
``I went straight home and told my wife.’’
Q2 admitted calling Mr Brennan on his direct line ``three or four
weeks ago’’ but said it was not to discuss publicity surrounding
his case. ``I rang him to see if he was riding his bike ... it was
kind of a joke,’’ he said. ``That’s all.’’
Earlier yesterday, the royal commission was told by case investigator
Cristina Italiano, fellow detective Joanne Connolly and former
child abuse unit chief Mick Miller that an inordinate amount of
attention was paid to the Q2 case by senior police, including Superintendent
David Caporn.
Constable Italiano said she considered it ``corrupt’’ that Q2 was
not charged, although she conceded she had not read Director of Public
Prosecution opinions that there was not enough evidence to
sustain charges.
``Any reasonable police officer would say there was enough evidence
to charge,’’ she said.
``At the end of the day, the file was treated differently because
of who Q2 was.’’
The commission heard there were 37 memos generated by the case, which
Senior Sergeant Miller said had ``died a death by memo’’.
Outside the commission yesterday, lawyer John Hammond said another
policeman had come forward to complain about a separate but similar
case of alleged high-level interference in the charging of a
suspect.
