Mirabella slurs Victorian police
Zuvele Leschen, the ALP candidate for Indi, today demanded that the local member, Sophie Mirabella, apologise to local police for comments she made in Parliament.
“Mrs Mirabella’s speech refers to ‘perversion’ engulfing the Victorian police force and to an ‘endemic corrupt culture’,” Zuvele Leschen said.
“This clearly indicates that she believes that the majority of Victorian police are corrupt.”
“Nothing is further from the truth.”
“There are over 10,000 sworn police officers in Victoria. The vast majority of them are decent, honest, hardworking people who are willing to lay their lives on the line for us.”
“For our local member to undermine our police in this way is outrageous.”
“Any profession has its bad apples, and it is appropriate that steps be taken to identify these and deal with them.”
“There is no justification, however, to imply in any way that the police in general are not to be trusted.”
“Mrs Mirabella should go back into Parliament as soon as possible, retract her comments and apologise to the Victorian police.”
