A NSW crime manager has told an inquiry he holds no animosity towards the whistleblower who alleges police and clergy covered up abuse allegations involving Catholic priests.
Newcastle crime manager Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Humphrey says he believes Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox is a good detective.
“Despite what anyone may think, I have no animosity to (Detective Chief Inspector) Peter Fox,” he told the inquiry into the handling of allegations of child sexual abuse by Hunter Valley Catholic priests on Tuesday.
“He’s a good detective, a very senior police officer and I have no problem with his work at all.”
Det Insp Fox secretly provided information to several journalists since 2010 for numerous newspaper, radio and televisions reports about child sexual abuse by priests.
