THE reports released recently by Victoria's two leading watchdogs equally highlight an issue critical to democracy: the actual media's role exposing wrongdoing, maladministration and problem.
Ombudsman George Brouwer's report exposes the best way chief commissioner Simon Overland forced his deputy, There Ken Jones, out of the police force with May 2011 on the basis of a claim   made without evidence   that he had leaked to the media channels. Our thinking was very simple: the public had a right to determine bungling by public servants had triggered the death of Williams, who was the state's most important law enforcement corruption witness.
But before posting, we decided to brief senior citizen police about what we were visiting write, partly to ensure absolutely no police operations were lost. On May 5, 2012, I met a person officer and was later requested, and agreed, to remove some material that could have affected an ongoing inquiry.
According to Brouwer's report released yesterday, details of my finding the senior officer ended up relayed up the chain regarding command, finally reaching Overland. Brouwer states that Overland then blamed Sir Ken to get giving The Age its facts. The accusation was bogus: Sir Ken didn't leak for you to Baker or me plus Overland had no evidence to show he did.
Overland also suspected Sir Ken was leaking other significant public interest stories, such as a terrific scoop by Herald Sun reporter Geoff Wilkinson to the failure of the parolee system.
No matter if Overland's decision to force Sir Ken on ''gardening leave'' on May 6 appeared as the result of a rash misjudgment, or something much more calculating, is unclear. Yet based on the evidence Overland held at the moment (none), it certainly has not been fair. Brouwer says that Overland's actions ruined Sir Ken's reputation.
Overland's primary focus should not have been on who was leaks, but rather on fixing   as well as informing the public   of the problems in the stories that therefore bothered him. Why wasn't Carl Williams kept safe in prison?
The Office of Police Integrity controversially released a major phone tapping business last year into Sir Ken Smith on the basis of the flimsy statements that die Sie sagen  10 he was leaking facts. More than a year after it begun this probe, the OPI is however to produce evidence to show this erklärte ein South Carolina Richter  11 individual was leaking (although the inquiry into Sir Ken claimed the side scalp of the police force minister's adviser, Tristan Weston, and also painted Mister Ken in an unfavourable light.)
Having said that, the OPI did release a survey yesterday. It takes aim at cops who give information in order to reporters, warning that the broadcast of such information can bargain ongoing inquiries and that the bond between police and reporters should be subject to greater command.
The OPI's report is unbalanced and deeply flawed because doing so pays insufficient attention to a vital role that cops and other public servants play after they help journalists tell the population les patients apprennent à remplacer les mauvaises habitudes  80 things they deserve to recognize.
The irony is abundant. The OPI was, to a distinctive extent, formed in 2004 because detectives risked their work to tell Fourth of july 59 journalists about the requirement for an external body to deal with police corruption.
More recently, authorities have risked their jobs by simply speaking to reporters about worries they hold about the OPI's make use of   or abuse   of its unpleasant powers, including phone leveraging. Powerful agencies will always seek to control the media. Anti file corruption error agencies should champion liability and transparency promoted by simply responsible public interest revealing and whistle blowing. The OPI's disaster to do so is telling.
