Australia: Real leadership mea
Two complex and intriguing issues have unintentionally revealed how the Brumby government responds when uncomfortable truths are exposed. The first is the Office of Police Integrity (OPI), set up to investigate police corruption. The second is violence against Indians in Melbourne. The issues are distinct in many ways, but in both cases there is a stubborn and self-defeating reluctance to face up to what is self-evident.

Database leak worries WA polic
West Australian police say they are very concerned about the leaking to the media of a database containing classified information on serving and past police officers.
The computer files list personal details about almost 3,500 officers, including the cars they drive, their personality types and allegations of violence and misconduct against them.
The files also include the names of the officers' children and details of their sporting achievements.
The Police Commissioner has ordered a full inquiry into the allegations and will refer the matter to the Corruption and Crime Commission.
Acting Assistant Commissioner Murray Lampard says police are unsure who compiled the dossier or why.
"The issue here is the accuracy of the information," he said.
"Some of it is accurate and one would assume that it could only be available to someone from within the organisation.
"That is why we've ordered an investigation into it so we could say it was someone currently serving, someone that perhaps was serving and has left West Australian Police."
Assistant Commissioner Lampard says the database also includes information about police in other states.
"Even though a lot of the information is irrelevant I am still concerned as to the extent that some person has gone to to collect information regarding personal particulars of officers information, regarding railway guards, information regarding officers in other states," he said.
