Policing Australia: The Official Podcast of the Australian Police Journal
Recently retired NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller discusses his thoughts on multiple issues impacting contemporary policing. These include the evolving nature of crime, the impact of COVID-19 on the force, and the relationship between police and the community, elected officials and the media. He also reflects on his experiences as a policeman, especially the period where he led the nation's largest force. This is the second of our podcasts to go in depth with contemporary police leaders, to gain an idea of what they think and do to make their organisations more effective at protecting the community.

Trad Tasman Talk returns for the first show of 2022. NZ's First Dude Clarke Gayford is in the spotlight for attempting to secure RATs for his mates. Labour darlings easily secure scarce MIQ spots. Republican chatter erupts as Prince Andrew faces a lawsuit. Join Tim Wilms and Dieuwe de Boer live tonight at 6pm Melbourne time and 8pm Auckland time. Jacinda Ardern's fiance Clarke Gayford tried to use his position as the first dude to obtain rapid tests for his Musician mates from a local pharmacy claiming there had been a change in policy. Currently in NZ RATs can only be accessed from pharmacies if you are traveling outside of Auckland. Close contacts and symptomatic kiwis can still only get a PCR test to find out if they have covid. Hillsong Church has escaped a fine for outdoor singing and dancing at its youth camp in Newcastle as there was a loophole in NSW public health orders. Some twitter conspiracy theorists believe this occurred because Scott Morrison is friends with former Hillsong leader Brian Houston and NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller is a member. Scott Morrison recently warned Australians not to hold Omicron parties as re-infection is possible with the variant. NZ still maintains its MIQ system for returning Kiwis where they must complete 7 days of hotel quarantine then 7 days of home isolation. The so-called MIQ lottery has seen a Labour MP returning from the Netherlands gain a spot as well as musician Lorde who will be performing at Jacinda and Clarke's wedding. The NZ summer has seen more shark sightings, beach drownings, and road fatalities. The local Coast Guard has said praying to demons will keep swimmers safe. The current chair of the Australian Republican Movement Peter FitzSimons released a new proposed Republic model where state and federal parliaments would nominate 11 candidates to weed out 'unsuitable candidates' which the Australian public would then vote. The Godfather of Australian Republicanism former Prime Minister Paul Keating has blasted this new model believing it would lead to a US-style presidency. The fallout from the Old Parliament House fire caused by an Aboriginal smoking ceremony on December 30 has continued with four people now arrested and charged. The Aboriginal activists present on the day of the fire are linked to the Original Sovereigns groups which are part of the larger pro-freedom and anti-vaccine mandate movement. They have been condemned by the leadership of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy who claim the Original Sovereigns have no legitimacy to represent Aboriginal tribal people. A new term has been created against the freedom movement's aboriginal rights advocacy: blackfishing. Dieuwe finishes the show by going through the latest fear from the globalist World Economic Forum that post-covid there will be less social cohesion amongst the human populations. This would obviously threaten the globalists' power and is not one of the desired effects they hoped the pandemic would result in as part of their great reset.

Two men were “sunbaking naked” on the NSW south coast when they were “startled by a deer” and ran into a national park, where they had to be rescued by emergency services – before being hit with $1000 fines.NSW's top cop relayed the bizarre story at a press conference on Monday where he gave an update on the latest fines issued for breaches of the Covid-19 lockdown.Forty-four people were issued with tickets over the past 24 hours, mostly for failing to wear a mask but also for being out of their homes or outside of the Greater Sydney area “without a reasonable excuse”.“Unbelievably, we saw two men sunbaking naked on a beach on the south coast,” NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said.“They were startled by a deer, ran into the national park and got lost. Not only did they require assistance from SES and police to rescue them, they also both received a ticket for $1000.”Mr Fuller said it was “only a small percentage” of people who were not following the health orders, “but I can assure you, if you breach the health orders or the guidelines, you will be punished”.In a media release, NSW Police provided more detail about the rescue of the men from the Royal National Park at Otford.“About 6pm on Sunday, the men called for assistance after becoming lost in bushland during a visit to a remote beach,” police said.“Police Rescue assisted by the State Emergency Service, NSW Ambulance and Polair responded to the area, locating a 30-year-old man naked and carrying a backpack on the walking track near Lady Wakehurst Drive. After a further search, a 49-year-old man, partially clothed, was also located. The men told police they were on a nearby beach when they ran into bushland after being startled by a deer.”The men were taken to St George Police Station and issued $1000 fines for breaching the current public health order prohibiting those from Greater Sydney travelling outside the region.In a separate incident, a Shellharbour cafe operator has been charged and is “subject to strict bail conditions” after neither she nor her staff were wearing masks.“About 9.40am, officers from Lake Illawarra Police District attended a cafe in Addison Street responding to reports staff were failing to comply with the current public health orders,” police said.“When officers arrived, they saw neither the staff or the operator were wearing face masks. The operator was reminded of her obligations under the current health orders but allegedly refused to comply.”The two staff members put masks on but the 38-year-old woman was arrested.She was charged with failing to comply with the direction to wear masks in retail premises, and for not ensuring her employees were wearing masks.“She was given bail conditions to strictly comply with the public health orders and not to incite or encourage others to defy them,” police said.“She is due to appear in Port Kembla Local Court on Wednesday 21 July 2021.”In another incident, police stopped a car on the Hume Highway at Goulburn. The driver, a 33-year-old man from Ermington, was issued with a $1000 fine and ordered to immediately return to Sydney.“Police have received hundreds of calls from the public over the weekend reporting potential public health order breaches, and would like to thank the vast majority of the community for their co-operation with the new rules,” police said.text by Frank Chung, news.com.au

His idea of a sexual consent app, is widely panned, but NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller insists he’s happy to have contributed to the conversation; and unemployment falls further, but JobKeeper ends soon and if you're young, finding work remains particularly hard.
An app that allows couples to establish and record their mutual consent before engaging in sex, suggested by NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller, has been eviscerated on social media.Mr Fuller is standing by the idea which has been widely-panned after if was announced this morning.He told ABC radio the app might be “the worst idea I have all year”, but said COVID-19 had shown the importance of adopting technological solutions.“If someone told me two years ago that we would have to sign in our phones every time we sat down at a restaurant, I would've laughed at them,” he said.“Whether the app floats or not, I think it's irrelevant … I think it's about understanding that this crime is on the increase … and we need to confront it whether that's through technology or education and training or through other ideas.”He believes the idea could be one part of the puzzle in tackling the nation's increasing number of sexual assaults.Despite the rise in cases, the rate of reporting and conviction of such crimes is dropping.“The conversation around sex and consent seems to be anchored to the ‘50s and clearly it isn't working,” Mr Fuller wrote in an opinion piece published in The Daily Telegraph.He believes consent apps could normalise conversations around consent and formalise the habit of actively seeking consent.“There is no implied consent. It needs to be positive consent. How do we do that in this day and age? One option is with technology,” Mr Fuller said.“People say ‘how unromantic is that'. But think of how many people are looking for friendship and love online – it's not as though technology and dating are foreign to us.”Speaking on the Today show, he conceded an app could provide challenges, such as if someone withdrew consent after agreeing.Other nations are trying similar ideas. Denmark, for example, has introduced a consent app and expanded the definition of rape to include sex without explicit consent.However, the idea has been panned by many on social media who say it will not solve the issue.Contos — who has revealed thousands of cases of alleged sexual assaults in Australia's schools — told news.com.au that a consent app was “missing the mark”.She said that the same methods people use to coerce others into sexual acts could be used to make them say they “consented” on the app — making it even harder to prove a case of sexual assault later on. “It's also important to stress that consent is dynamic. It can be taken away at any moment and it can change within minutes,” she said.For example, somebody may agree to having sex with their partner but may then be forced into a position or a type of sex they are uncomfortable with — meaning a blanket consent agreement on an app would be meaningless.Ms Contos said factors like alcohol will make the app process even more murky.“I don't think that it's a terrible idea and I like that the police are forward-thinking about this, but this is not taking any societal pressures off victims — the forces that coerce them into sex will just be reflected in the app,” she said. “It's only a Band-Aid solution and it doesn't solve the core issue, which can only be done by empowering people about active consent through education.”Speaking on the Today show this morning Mr Fuller said he wouldn't expect the app to solve issues around consent by itself, but that it could be a useful tool particularly in online hook-ups.“If you are online or dating or looking for friendship you have to be upfront with that in terms of what your expectations are from the relationship,” he said.“Is this going to solve the entirety of the problem? No it's not. If we continue to chip away to minimise opportunities to see more victims in this space then I think we're on our way to what would be victory.“Because we don't understand how long this has been happening for. We know that there's been a change in the way that we meet people and the way that we date, technology plays such a big role in...
