Victoria's prison inquiry hits hurdle

A SECRET inquiry into how the Baillieu Government runs the prison system has been compromised. 
 
An investigator has been sacked for issuing a politically motivated tweet.
The Auditor-General's Office is investigating a security breach in its office after contractor Leigh Bromley used social media to comment about a highly confidential review he was undertaking into doubts about the Government's ability to expand the prison system in line with its tough-on-crime agenda.
The Auditor-General confirmed it had terminated Mr Bromley's services on Friday over his indiscreet tweet, which mocked the use of the term "positive growth" to describe increasing prisoner numbers.
"Need to be careful when discussing growth in prisoner numbers as 'positive growth'," Mr Bromley tweeted last Wednesday.
Sources close to the prison investigation have raised doubts about the impartiality of the audit after Mr Bromley's public disclosure, though neither the office nor the Government would comment about the nature or suitability of the secret probe.
Instead, when asked by the Herald Sun about the tweet, the office issued a statement saying it investigated the matter immediately after learning of Mr Bromley's comment and had terminated his services.
"VAGO prides itself on its integrity and independence, and holds all staff and contractors to the highest standards of accountability and responsibility," the Auditor-General's statement said.
The Herald Sun has learned Mr Bromley was hired to investigate the Government's formula for forecasting prisoner numbers and ability to plan for growth in the prison population, which will be one of the last reports by Auditor-General Des Pearson before he retires in December.
Mr Bromley works for ISG Projects as a transport and infrastructure consultant.
Although the audit is believed to be reviewing data, formulas and cabinet submissions used by previous Labor governments, sources close to the investigation believe it is firmly focused on the Coalition's tougher sentencing policies.
The Government made an election promise to open more prison beds, and a new prison at Ararat has been delayed by the collapse of the developer.

Another 'whistle blower' that will have to pay for uncovering another government scam.

These government scams are well disguised under politically correct agendas like the above mentioned "positive growth", and anyone standing in the way will get crushed.

Prisoners and guards work together to commit crime both inside and outside of prison.

Guards are told to 'look the other way' when some sort of discipline is carried out on another prisoner by other prisoners.

When the news gets out from the prison walls, the coverup begins with corrupt lawyers and judges that rule a failure of the 'system' as the result of a death.

There is more corruption inside prison than the corporate media will ever be allowed to report.
