POLICE CORRUPTION SCANDAL: NSW Police Boss Webb & Kristina Keneally's son 2/2

Constable Daniel Keneally entirely fabricated allegations sent Luke Moore to gaol for a crime he simply hadn’t committed, and the police officer that charged Luke, Detective Sergeant Malcolm Felgate, let Luke languish in gaol whilst sitting on the audio recording that undeniably proved that Keneally had loaded up Luke with an offence that could have sent him to gaol for 10 years.

After all charges were eventually dropped and Luke was release from gaol, he complained to the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) who determined that this was not a matter justifying their investigation. The LECC then forwarded Luke’s complaint to the NSW Police for them to investigate internally. That investigation was handled by Superintendent Sam Crisafulli and Sergeant Joshua Madden from Keneally’s own Newtown police station, who simply wrote it off by saying that Keneally “did not act with due care and diligence in the making of his statement”. The NSW Police through their lawyers then attempted to buy Luke off with $170,000 compensation for Keneally’s “error”. Luke rejected this offer.

The LECC who had previously determined this was not a matter justifying their investigation, were then forced to act only after this scandal was raised publicly in the NSW Parliament on the 24th of November 2021 by the Hon. Rod Roberts. The LECC however have still not released their investigation report, despite Luke being advised by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) that they have advised the LECC that there is sufficient evidence to prosecute Keneally for a criminal offence.

At a recent NSW Parliament Budget Estimates hearing in August, NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said that she welcomed the opportunity to review this matter and gave evidence that Constable Keneally had previously been suspended and reinstated. After supplementary questions were asked of Commissioner Webb surrounding Keneally’s suspension, she has now been forced to correct her evidence, stating now that Keneally has never been suspended and remains a serving member of the NSW Police. Whilst Commissioner Webb may have inherited this mess from Commissioner Mick Fuller, she now firmly owns it, and as the Commissioner she needs to either publicly state that she still has confidence in Constable Keneally to be a serving member of the NSW Police or dismiss him. The buck firmly stops with her.

Constable Daniel Keneally’s misconduct was covered up from the get-go, and nothing less than an open public inquiry is needed to expose all those who are complicit in this continual rot.
