New Queensland police corrupti

A key Fitzgerald Inquiry whistleblower claims police corruption in Queensland is as rife as it was in the 1970s.

Col Dillon was a policeman for more than three decades and became Queensland's highest ranking Indigenous officer.

He has told tonight's Message Stick program on ABC television that he is writing a tell-all book.

"The culture that was pre-Fitzgerald is there today and every bit as strong as it was pre-Fitzgerald," Mr Dillon said.

"It may have softened a little bit after some of the reform processes come into place and so forth.

"There's been back-slotting of a great magnitude in terms of police doing their services in this state."

Mr Dillon says he will name corrupt figures who were not identified in the Fitzgerald Inquiry but says the police force culture of the 70s and 80s has not changed.

"I would say without any fear of contradiction that it is high time for another far-reaching inquiry into our police service and the way that it operates," he said.
