Abstract

doubtful that these had any real impact on wider national discussions. Police Corruption On 19 April the Territory Police Commissioner, Mick Palmer, announced an internal inquiry into an alleged financial link between a serving officer, Detective Sergeant Dennis Hart, and a convicted armed robber. Hart, then the Drug Squad chief, had first come under scrutiny by a police inquiry in 1990 when a colleague raised allegations about him. Police investigated the allegations and completed what they said was a detailed report into his finances. Bob Mulholland, QC, later cleared Hart of any wrong-doing when the investigation was finished in May 1992. On 20 April Palmer admitted that the earlier investigators had not been aware that a company of which Hart was a shareholder, Flashy Pty Ltd, had loaned the family of convicted armed robber Victor ‘“I’ilor” Boyd $17,500. Palmer’s admission, Opposition Leader Ede argued, cast serious doubts over the accuracy of parts of the Mulholland report into police corruption.
