@Barnsy_Lisa Blame previous Government! Bad media strategy. If system was in crisis what has been done in last 18 months to address issues at Greenough? Better just to say “we are having a full and open review” end of story...

@Rexfiles Ridiculous

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

Brilliant piece by Paul Murray in today’s West. When I was Commissioner I asked how many abused children in Roebourne were being case managed by Dept of Communities. They refused to tell me. We should be very concerned.

@GeoffHutchison ‘Unable are the loved to die for love is immortality’...Emily Dickinson. My thoughts are with you and your family. Stay Strong.

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

The measure of a father is to be there when kids fall. Disappointment should be eclipsed by unconditional love. Well done Steve Smith’s Dad

@MikeNahan I closed some country police stations in 2007. I later accepted this was a wrong decision affecting community viability. Same applies here

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@MikeNahan Good luck! In my old job I asked how many Roebourne children were being case managed by DCPFS when they were assaulted. They refused to say.

@HoolyMcg @savewasota @sueellery Reason: Damage Control. Not confident with Government messaging about Moora and knows it is not convincing.

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

Enrolment of kids in Aboriginal Basketball Comp at Swan Rec down for Term 1. Coach tells me Govt cuts to Kidsport are hurting. Dumb policy!

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@KatanningPol Thank you for being the ‘face’ of policing jn Katanning during my time as Commish. Allnthe best for the future

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@G_Parker @Rita_Saffioti @ScorchersBBL @6PR Wait for the announcement that the decision has been reversed after listening to the public (again).

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@GeoffHutchison @abcperth It is unlikely the Premier and the Minister would have acted unilaterally. Who are the policy advisors who created this debacle?

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@JaneMarwick @MikeNahan Hard to recall when an issue has reulted in such a sustained response fron readers. Worst communications failure since election

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@Gary_Adshead Chased her off my place

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@PaulMurrayWA @sueellery On September 7 Wyatt said that 3000 FTE can be shed from Govt without affecting frontline. Education first, now for the $250m Police cuts.

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@Rexfiles Absolutely! Must get in touch for copy

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

@PaulMurrayWA I reckon I’ve been in there more times than both of them. Rubbish headphones, dingy but always good company. No invite for me either!

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

Good law but if detection avoidance is such a big problem why does it it not cover rader detectors like most other States?

[Karl O'Callaghan @KarlOCallaghan3]

Must have a secret benefactor. Started the day with a handful of followers, ended with 560!

These uniforms were given the 'thumbs up' by officers. Cool and comfortable under tactical outerwear. Another broken promise? $550000 sunk
