A new NSW law enforcement watchdog report suggests police consider banning all officers from owning racehorses after it withdraws the finding that former commissioner Mick Fuller did not commit wrongdoing.
, the Inspector of the LECC, stating the commission published adverse comments about its stories without offering the broadcaster a right of reply.
It also stated that the LECC's earlier criticism of the ABC's reporting was speculative and unwarranted. The new report accepted that the earlier finding that Mr Fuller had not committed any wrongdoing was incorrect."The omission of Mr Fuller to make declarations in these years attracts criticism. This is especially so given his position as Commissioner of Police, the most senior officer in the NSWPF.""This is not a case where Mr Fuller sought to keep secret his racehorse ownership," the new report stated.
That same year, the LECC had received a complaint regarding Mr Fuller's racehorse ownership but declined to pursue the matter.In today's report, the LECC said it was irrelevant that an officer may consider racehorse ownership a hobby. Mr Fuller was questioned by the commission about his alleged failure to declare his racehorse ownership via syndicates earlier this year.
