Ian Leavers’ affidavit in response to inquiry says failings in responding to such incidents more likely caused by ‘workload pressures or inadequate training’
Leavers originally opposed calls for the commission of inquiry, labelling recommendations by the taskforce another “woke, out-of-touch report”. However, in May he said he had changed his mind since giving evidence at the inquest into the death of Hannah Clarke and her three children. He described the inquiry as “an opportunity” to commit to reforms.– with other absences including the Queensland police commissioner, Katarina Carroll, and the state’s police minister, Mark Ryan.
Leavers also raised concerns about the treatment of officers in the workplace who have been served with temporary domestic violence orders. “The fact that they have been stood down and their firearm removed signals to everyone within their station that they are the respondent in domestic and family violence proceedings.”
