A Victorian police officer who used homophobic slurs to other officers when referring to a gay man who had reported family violence has had his dismissal from the force overturned.
The Victorian Police Registration and Services Board, in a decision published this week, instead ordered the unnamed officer to pay $10,000 to a gay colleague and $2,000 to the Victorian Pride Centre as compensation for the “disgraceful” comments, arguing the dismissal was harsh.
