The comments made under parliamentary privilege this afternoon are completely false. I invite public scrutiny as it is an important part of being NSW Police Commissioner, but these comments are solely intended to damage my personal reputation and have no basis in fact.
The 50 bottles were purchased in accordance with policies and procedures as outlined by LECC. To date, 24 bottles have been distributed as gifts or donated for charity purposes. I have not tasted the Commissioner’s Gin and to suggest the bottles were purchased for personal and staff use, is incorrect.
In the meantime, I am reassured by the fact that I have always acted honestly and in the best interest of the NSW Police Force and the people of NSW.
