Mr. Martin Callinan:

I am not for a moment suggesting that in the context of everything they are saying, there are not elements in that which are not in accordance with policy and procedures. That may very well be the case. However, where members of my force are coming in and making very serious accusations of a criminal nature against my officers, then that is an extremely serious matter. It is a matter that should be dealt with by either myself or by other fora. If there are matters of such a serious criminal nature, I think the Director of Public Prosecutions should be involved. There are clear obligations on the people who are making these accusations. I am only repeating myself, I know that.
