Victoria Police
Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (09:53): Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson – shot and killed in the line of duty while executing a warrant. Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart – killed in the line of duty while executing a warrant. Senior Constable Bria Joyce – killed while undertaking regular duties. Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor – killed in the line of duty while helping the community. Constable Glen Humphris – killed in the line of duty while helping the community. And the list goes on. So it was very disappointing and appalling when we had the person in the highest office in the state call out and belittle a former police officer for his limited time in the service. May I remind the Premier Jacinta Allan that no matter how many days they serve – one day or 35 days – all police officers take the same oath, do the same duties, work the same shifts and may bear the same consequences as those on the list I have read out. What was more disturbing was the Minister for Police, sitting behind her, smirking and making his comment. May I remind the Minister for Police Anthony Carbines that he holds the office in which he is supposed to be supporting police officers when given the opportunity to do so. I remind both the minister and the Premier that all police officers deserve their due respect.
