Disgusting moment Queensland officers joked and ridiculed domestic violence survivor when she accidentally heard them on the phone

An audio file has been released of the moment a domestic violence victim is laughed at by two Queensland Police officers after she called them for help.

The Southport woman said she called Gold Coast police because she suspected her ex-partner had breached an order and broken into her home.

“I had video… security camera footage (of the break-in),” the woman said 7 News.

She claimed that when the police arrived, one of the officers was “standing above me, being quite rude and intimidating me, so I asked him if he would mind standing outside my house for a moment.”

After taking the report and collecting her evidence, the officers left, but they called her at 12:47 a.m. that night and left a voicemail stating that there was not enough evidence to proceed as the ex-partner had denied having broken into her home.

The officer then tries to hang up the phone, but the connection remains. We hear him joking to a colleague that the woman would be upset and that no action would be taken.

“This b**** is gonna say, ‘What the f***!’ You’re gonna get a complaint,” one officer is heard saying, making the other laugh.

One of the officers then said: ‘They can’t say there was no investigation’, to which the other replied: ‘No, it’s either not professional enough or it’s just nonsense’.

“It’s probably true: even your sergeant told you to get lost,” the other said, referring to the fact that he had made the woman feel uncomfortable while they were there.

The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, said she felt “intimidated” by an officer who showed up when she called.

The woman filed a report with the police and was told she could listen to the voicemail.

She claimed she was later told there would be no follow-up as it was just “office chitchat.”

However, the woman claims that the experience left her feeling abandoned by the police, whom she had asked for protection.

“What’s the point? It feels like if you’re in trouble, your neighbor is more likely to help you than the police.”

A Queensland Police spokesperson said: “Police received a complaint from the complainant regarding this incident via Policelink on April 22.”

‘The complainant was personally approached by a senior officer and the officer involved made a formal apology. The complainant informed the police at the time that she was satisfied with the subsequent police contact and the explanation given. This interaction was officially recorded.

“No information was provided as to whether any further disciplinary action would be taken against the officers involved.”
