Frontline to Front Bench: The Officer Who Ran for Office | Stuart Grimley

Frontline to Front Bench: The Officer Who Ran for Office | Stuart Grimley

Victorian police officer Stuart Grimley has seen it all — three years as a Kalgoorlie copper rubbing shoulders with the Gypsy Jokers, stints in Major Drugs and Crime Command and two years working sexual offences cases that left images he'll never unsee. Then, in 2018, he did something most cops never do: he got elected to State Parliament under Derryn Hinch's Justice Party banner.

He lost his seat in 2022 and went back to Victoria Police, where he's now an operational safety and tactics instructor. But Stuart's not done with politics. He's launching the Frontline Workers Party — a new movement representing police, paramedics, nurses, firies, teachers and corrections officers ahead of the Victorian state election.

Adam sits down with Stuart to talk about the psychological toll of child exploitation investigations, the frustration of watching offenders walk free after months of painstaking police work, the $30 million machete amnesty debacle, and why Stuart believes the only way to fix a broken system is to get back inside it.
