Report calls for watchdog judg
VICTORIA'S revamped police corruption watchdog should be headed by a top judge, a report has recommended.
The new Office of Police Integrity, headed by George Brouwer, who also served as the ombudsman at the same time, should be headed by the yet to be appointed Director Police Integrity as a separate full-time position.
The report by State Government-appointed Special Investigations Monitor David Talbot says the person chosen as DPI should have qualified as a judge of the Victorian Supreme Court or its interstate equivalents, or the High or Federal courts.
The judge would have to retire when appointed DPI.
Premier John Brumby announced last month the roles of DPI and the State Ombudsman would be split and would operate separately by the end of this year.
Mr Brumby was last week embarrassed by his NSW Labor counterpart Morris Iemma, who said any government that refused to introduce an independent crime commission was "crazy".
Mr Brumby has consistently refused to heed calls for an independent body to fight corruption in the Victorian public sector.
