This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Prosecute police officers, councillors & officials who helped cover-up grooming
Neglect & Misconduct in Public Office must become a statutory offence used to prosecute officials who ignored grooming evidence. The scale of abuse recently exposed only occurred because officials covered-up evidence as they prioritised considerations over multiculturalism, reputation & budgets.
