NSW police whistleblower Peter Fox has told an inquiry he lied to fellow officers when he said he forgot to bring statements from sex abuse victims to a meeting.
Detective Chief Inspector Fox told the hearing in Newcastle on Tuesday he had deliberately left the documents on his desk.
Asked by counsel assisting the inquiry, Julia Lonergan SC, if he had lied to police in saying he had forgotten them, he replied: ‘Absolutely.’
He has previously testified that he had lost trust in some senior police.
‘I was hoping I wouldn’t have to surrender them (the documents),’ Insp Fox said.
