’Supremely courageous’: Victoria Police officer to pay ’very heavy price’ for speaking out

Sky News host Rita Panahi says the Victoria Police officer who spoke out against enforcing the state government’s public health orders should not have her career in jeopardy because Australia is a free country. It comes as Acting Senior Sergeant Krystle Mitchell, a senior Victorian policewoman, sensationally resigned from Victoria Police after appearing on an independent media show The Discernible Interviews on Friday night. She resigned after 16 years of service, claiming the “vast majority” of cops do not “believe in and don’t want to enforce” the state’s tough COVID-19 orders.
