Why This Police Veteran Became a Whistleblower

Why This Police Veteran Became a Whistleblower

This is part two of a two part episode with our guest, Kate Pausina.

In our last episode, former Queensland Police member, Kate Pausina, told us about her glory days in the job.

She's back today to talk about the moment her beloved career took a turn and the events that led to her filing a formal complaint in 2018 before leaving the service.

Kate contributed a chapter to the 2024 book "When Cops Are Criminals" by Veronica Gorrie, which you can purchase here.
