1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Afternoon, even more details have come to light about the

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: kind of pornographic material that Deputy Police Commissioner Jevin mcskimming

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: allegedly had on his work device. The Herald is reporting

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: an investigation is underway to decide whether the material was objectionable.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: Now.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Jared Savage is The Herald's investigative reporter. Hey, Jared, Hi,

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: have that Jared? What do you know about the pawn

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: that was allegedly found on his computer?

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 2: Well, allegedly and I lo stress that allegedly it's not

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: sort of regard and variety pornography. It's what has deemed

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: well allegedly objectionable material. Now, objectionable material is subject to interpretation,

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: but generally something that's it's governed by the film, video

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: and publications classification back and it's generally speaking things that

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: involve you know, sexual violence, horror, cruelty. So we don't,

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: we don't, we know very little about what we'll staying

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: on the computer, but that is what the police are

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: looking at at the moment to determine whether this material

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: allegedly found on mix Stilming's computer could be classified as objectionable.

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Now, having that kind of stuff on your computer allegedly

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: is a crime, isn't it.

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: It is an offense under the Act, and it's a

22
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: sort of offense that the police as well as the

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Department of Internal Affairs and Customs actually as well investigate

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: quite regularly. So if it is classified as addctionable and

25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: there's a big long process where whatever the material sound

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: has been compared to other material, charges could be laid

27
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: and we could be finding ourselves in the curtcase.

28
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: Now, will the cops keep on investigating him despite the

29
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: fact that he's resigned in that half do wouldn't they?

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? And the commissioner, which the Chambers has been quite

31
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: clear about that, they've been very Tightlet the police and

32
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell, the police minister. But Chambers was adamant to

33
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: say the resignation of Skimming yesterday doesn't stop the investigation.

34
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: That'll that'll carry on and I guess will have an

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: outcome in due course.

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: They will need to replace him reasonably quickly, I would

37
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: have thought, because there's just one police Deputy commissioner right

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: now who can legally fill in for Chambers.

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: Right, that's right. So there's been keys what they call

40
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: statutory deputies. One was given ex Skimming the other was

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: time you cutter, and should anything happen to the commissioner

42
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: or should he himself come under investigation for whatever reason,

43
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: the statue the senior statutory dituity takes over. That wasn't skimming.

44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: Now it's time your putterer. So I would expect to see,

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: you know, an application for that role to be advertisably

46
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: shortly as an important role, and you know, it comes

47
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: shortly after there's been a bit of a restructuring the

48
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: police executive as well, so I imagine there'll be a

49
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: few contenders putting their hand up for that one.

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,920
