Qld: Disciplinary action to be taken if police in the wrong
BRISBANE, Aug 5 AAP - Disciplinary action will be taken if it is found police failed
to respond appropriately to a triple-0 call about a sexual assault in central Queensland,
Police Minister Judy Spence says.
A woman from the Aboriginal community of Woorabinda has complained that she rang police
at 1am (AEST) last Monday to say a female was being sexually assaulted but claims her
complaint was not dealt with properly.
An internal police investigation is underway and the matter has been referred to the
Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC), a spokeswoman for Ms Spence said.
"If it is found that police failed in their duties, disciplinary action will be taken,"
said the spokeswoman.
