So you would give a child molester a job looking after children as long as he told you?

Dear god, you leftards are more fucked up than I thought...

I don't recall ever mentioning that. PLus being a child molester would disqualify him on other grounds, not just the committing of a criminal offence.

Living in Canberra I know a lot of public servants here and a few that run these types of police checks. They all say the issue is not whether you commit a crime, so much as whether you don't tell them.

WTF is that supposed to mean? A conviction and time spent in jail can't be hidden. Normal standard routine criminal record checks reveal this type of information.

No, its more about the agenda set down by some on here. I'm not condoning what was done. Theres no way he should have got the job, but the beat up on here is unmerited. We seem to be falling into the US trap, where moderate voices are being drowned out by extremist views.

Depends on whether you ask for a national check, costs the same money ($37.30 in Qld, 2007), but if you don't stipulate, the cops tend to default to their own state.
If his crime and conviction was in ACT (?) it should have shown up straight away.

Why is it unmerited? Did you used to get your smack from him?

You should be glad you are helping out his retirement fund on top of his perks. Not to worry, Tanyas bleeding of the country should keep them happy and giggly and full of drugs at the expense of all taxpayer. Well done on your choices

Not to worried about the heroin thing. But a Head of a department should have knowledge about the subject.

They typically know nothing about their portfolio - just check out the boffins that have headed up Qld Health.
