No action against Doomadgee officers

QUEENSLAND'S anti-corruption watchdog is powerless to challenge a decision not to take disciplinary action against police who botched the Palm Island death-in-custody investigations.
Crime and Misconduct Commission chairman Martin Moynihan said it was "almost incomprehensible" that the police service had found the six officers did not have a case to answer.
He says the service must now explain itself to the family of Cameron Doomadgee, who died on the floor of the island's watchhouse, and to all Queenslanders.
Deputy Police Commissioner Kathy Rynders found the officers should face only "managerial guidance" for their roles in what the CMC called flawed investigations into Mr Doomadgee's 2004 death.
Mr Doomadgee died from massive internal injuries after a scuffle with his arresting officer, Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley, who was later acquitted of manslaughter.
The CMC had vowed to take the matter to the tribunal if it was dissatisfied with the police response.
Mr Moynihan today confirmed a legal loophole had left the CMC powerless to challenge the police service's position in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
But Mr Moynihan said the loophole meant that was it was no longer an option - the CMC's hands were tied and after six long years the case was closed.
Does the police control government or the government control the police?????
