Episode Details

South Australias former Attorney General, Chris Sumner, criticizes Police Commissioner Grant Stevens appointment to the Adelaide Crows board, arguing its unacceptable for a top cop to balance public duty with running a commercial entity like the Crows. Sumner raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest, especially given the Crows pursuit of government funding and Stevens role in policing games and player investigations. He compares the situation to a potential ethics breach, drawing parallels to placing Stevens on BHPs board. The police defend the appointment as secondary employment with no pay, but Sumner demands clarification on approvals from the premier, minister, and integrity watchdogs. The debate highlights the blurred lines between law enforcement and football business, leaving questions about the effectiveness of safeguards.
