QLD Police Service's toxic culture

We look at the results of an inquiry into sexism in the Queensland Police Service. In May, QLD Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced an independent Commission of Inquiry into Queensland Police Service responses to domestic and family violence.

We’re joined by Kate Kyriacou, a senior journalist at Brisbane’s Courier Mail newspaper. Kate has followed the hearings since day one and says the inquiry heard women had been raped, kissed, touched inappropriately, threatened and stalked online and in person by senior colleagues.

In today’s Briefing we dissect the inquiry’s findings and ask a simple question – can the culture in the QLD Police Service change under its current leadership?

Headlines:

- RBA boss warns of higher inflation, lower growth
- Saudi Arabia stuns Argentina at FIFA World Cup
- Helliar announces Project departure
- Indo quake death toll reaches 268
