The Queensland police officer who leaked the details of a domestic abuse victim to her violent former partner has lodged an appeal against his suspended prison sentence in a bid to keep his job.
Neil Punchard pleaded guilty to nine counts of computer hacking last month. Punchard is appealing his sentence, including a recorded conviction which likely gives police reasonable grounds to dismiss him.
The appeal comes as the state’s Crime and Corruption Commission begins an inquiry to explore the scope of public sector data misuse.
