The under-fire Police Commissioner Karen Webb followed in the footsteps of her predecessor in giving alcohol as gifts.
The embattled NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb has axed the practice of using taxpayers’ money to buy alcohol for gifts and hospitality after she became engulfed in controversy for purchasing 50 bottles of gin.
The LECC cleared her of any serious misconduct and said it was also “satisfied that the purchase was in accordance with policies and procedures”. However, it found that “Commissioner Webb should have disclosed her association with the supplier when she became aware of the purchase of Commissioner’s Gin”.
Fuller, who bought shiraz from Hope Estate when he was commissioner, put an order in for 48 bottles, at $80 each, on March 22, 2021. He placed an order for 12 bottles, worth $82 each, on November 3, 2021, according to sources who have seen the invoices.On Tuesday, independent upper house MP and former police officer Rod Roberts told parliament he would seek an order for documents relating to Webb’s alcohol purchases.
