Forecasts floods for Queensland while the rain returns to the south-east
Several critical recommendations designed to maintain the Queensland police leadership responsible in providing equality in providing equality have been refused or accepted only partially, a move that has “disappointed” the state commissioner for the human rights.
The Queensland Police Service has aimed for his response to an independent review by the Queensland human rights commission and the work to provide some recommendations has already begun.
The review was established after a 2022 investigation into the police responses to domestic and family violence that found that sexism, misogyny and racism were significant problems.

The revision identified the ways to improve diversity and inclusion, in particular for women, first nations and culturally different people.
The QPS stated that most of the recommendations have been accepted or partially accepted, with some employees in the guarantee of resources: human and financial.
“QPS is dedicated to equality in the workplace … our goal is to attract the people who reflect the community we serve,” said Vice Commissioner to acting Mark Kelly.
The human rights commissioner of Queensland, Scott McDougall, said that he was disappointed several critical recommendations designed to believe that the leadership responsible for a measurable change has been decreased or only partially accepted.
“For example, the recommendation that substantial progress is made to achieve minimal objectives of diversity in their executive leadership team within two years,” he said.
“This answer confirms our discoveries on the strength of the resistance within the service that continues to act as a barrier, in particular to the progression of women in the service.”
