State’s police commissioner reveals she too suffered sexual assault and harassment early in her career
Queensland police recruits were taught racist attitudes at the state’s academy, including comments about Indigenous people that “you can smell them before you see them”, recordings obtained by an inquiry have revealed.
The inquiry heard about comments made by police officers referring to First Nations people as “black cunts”, “stupid cunts”, “dumb cunts”, “smelly cunts” and “lazy cunts”.One officer called an Indigenous colleague a “smelly old dugong”. The officer was never punished. Earlier, the inquiry heard the QPS was handed a dossier from a group of senior female officers in 2018 that detailed their alleged experiences of abuse and a “boys club” culture in which they said sexual assaults and rape were minimised.
One woman who contributed to the dossier gave permission for her story to be mentioned by the inquiry. It alleged that she knew of five women who were raped while working for the QPS.

Biden one of the ‘biggest propagators of lies’ in US historyUS President Joe Biden was “pandering” when he said during a recent speech he was “raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically”, says comedian Alex Stein. Mr Stein pointed to when Dr Jill Biden also compared Latinos to breakfast tacos. “It’s all projection, it’s all about race, it’s all about sex, it’s all about some sort of affirmative action that they’re trying to appeal to the minorities or the marginalised people,' he told Sky News host Rowan Dean. “It’s all lies, and Joe Biden is one of the biggest propagators of lies in United States history.”
