SYDNEY: Three senior policemen have been publicly cleared of corruption allegations raised against them at the Juanita Nielsen inquest.
The NSW Minister for Police, Mr Anderson, told State Parliament yesterday that an internal police inquiry had found no evidence to substantiate allegations made by Mr Jim Anderson, a former associate of Mr Abe Saffron, a Sydney businessman.
Mr Jim Anderson asserted in September last year that he had seen Mr Saffron make cash payments during the 1970s to a number of policemen, including Assistant Police Commissioner Jim Pyne, Detective Sergeant Brian Ballard and a licensing officer, Inspector Keith Dunlop.
The Minister quoted Deputy Commissioner John Perrin who, with Executive Chief Superintendent Russ Sadler, conducted the investigation, as saying, “There is no evidence available to substantiate any of the allegations made by Anderson. . . or that any of the police and former police referred to by him have in any way been guilty of improper conduct”.
The Minister said that since Mr Jim Anderson was “involved in criminal proceedings it would be inappropriate to comment on any detail” of the investigation.

FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
A CONSULTANT company, now known as Halliburton KBR Pty Ltd was commissioned by Shoalhaven City Council in June 2001 to examine options for a Bomaderry/North Nowra link road.
The initial study in 1995 examined five options, two of which were east of the existing West Cambewarra Road, and one utilising the existing West Cambewarra Road alignment.
That study found the West Cambewarra options would not measurably ease the traffic on Illaroo Road.
Councillor Jane Bange has been lobbying for council to develop the existing road reserve, or adopt an option which would be west of the existing West Cambewarra Road.
The main stumbling block against using the existing road reserve, is that the RTA has indicated it would not approve another road feeding into the roundabout at Glendon Motors.
The current study is on hold, waiting for traffic modelling in connection with council’s Nowra/Bomaderry structure plan to be completed.
Bolong road overpass
WHILE the debate raged over where a link should be established between Bomaderry and North Nowra, a traffic policeman came up with a scheme in 1999 to relieve traffic congestion at the Shoalhaven River bridge.
Sergeant Adrian Danslow‘s idea involved an overpass link between Bolong Road and Illaroo Road.
“This would allow the complete removal of traffic lights at the Princes Highway and Illaroo Road intersection, and alleviate the constant stopping and queuing problem” he said.
“Such a construction would mean all pylon supports would be on dry land and not on the river bed, reducing the cost.
However, Shoalhaven City Council’s city services manager, Barry Russell said the suggestion would not solve the problem of increased traffic on Illaroo Road.
“The original link road was aimed at reducing traffic at the Illaroo Road/Princes Highway intersection, and along Illaroo Road,” he said.
Third River crossing
SHOALHAVEN City Mayor Greg Watson believes the RTA should urgently look at constructing a third crossing of the Shoalhaven River.
“The plans the RTA have at the moment are for a complete bypass of Nowra, and that’s 40 years away, and you would be looking at spending $60 to $100 million,” Cr Watson said.
“And a bypass of the town would not solve the traffic problems in North Nowra.
“What we need to be looking at is a bridge to the west of the new bridge.
“That way the two pavements could be merged, and it would be easy to dedicate two lanes to Illaroo Road traffic, removing it from the highway traffic.
“That way you could remove the traffic lights at Illaroo Road.
“The existing bridges carry 46,000 vehicles a day, and capacity is fast running out.
“I wouldn’t suggest placing the additional bridge to the east of the existing structures.
“The acquisition cost of land in the area would be horrendous.”
Illaroo Road’s 15,300 cars a day
STATISTICALLY speaking, Illaroo Road has been carrying far in excess of the recommended traffic load for a residential street.
At last count, in June this year, 15,300 cars used the road every day.
According to the studies done by Mitchell McCotter back in 1995, by 2011 Illaroo Road is expected to be carrying 25,573 vehicles a day.
Again, according to Mitchell McCotter, this figure would only be reduced by about 5000 vehicles a day if any of the West Cambewarra Road options are adopted.
However, an estimate of accidents per million vehicle kilometres in 2011 shows that the West Cambewarra Road options would significantly reduce accident rates from 10.6 if no link is established down to 7.86.
Back in 1995, it was estimated that the West Cambewarra Road options would cost from $5.8 million to $7.7 million, whereas the Shoalhaven City Council preferred route, Narang Road to Pitt Street, North Nowra, would have cost from $4.8 to $7.7 million.

Retired Police Officers Day honours those who have served
Robert Crawford
Shoalhaven Local Area Command Acting Superintendent Joe Thone has paid credit to former officers on Retired Police Officers Day, saying they had set the platform for the future.
Retired officers from across the Shoalhaven were honoured on Thursday as part of the special event.
Fifteen former officers took part in the day, designed to acknowledge and recognise the efforts of former officers.
It is important we recognise the great work each of you have done for our organisation and the contribution and service to the people of NSW, Acting Superintendent Thone said.
We honour your contribution and sacrifice and ongoing legacy of our retired NSW Police officers.
Policing is a dangerous profession, and the risk taken by all our officers as they serve the community daily comes with inherent danger.
Some of our fellow officers have unfortunately paid the ultimate price with significant injury and loss of life.
This loss is a reminder of the sacrifice of all of our officers, both sworn and unsworn.
You set the platform for the future.
Shoalhaven Local Area Command Acting Superintendent Joe Thone.
Acting Superintendent Thone said it didn’t matter what duties officers performed, they had all contributed to making NSW police one of the most progressive and modern law enforcement agencies in the world.
That connection will never leave you, he said. We that remain, and those whom are beginning their police careers are honoured to continue

Graeme, it was great working with you at Dubbo, in my role as the communications technical officer. The big search around Goodooga comes to mind.

Promotions for constables at Goulburn, Nowra and Tumut were announced yesterday by the NSW Police Commissioner, Mr Allan.
Constables J. B. Goof( # ???? – by 1968 he does not appear in the Stud Book ) and P. J. Madden( # 9294 )( Goulburn ), A. Shaw( # 9326 )( Nowra ) and G. C. Rooskov( # 9293 )( Tumut ), all become Constables First Class.
SYDNEY, Thursday. — Central Criminal Court was told today that a youth had killed his mother by shooting her through the back of her head for no apparent reason.
Robert George McAlister, 17, of Blowering Road, Tumut, pleaded not guilty to murder but guilty to manslaughter. The Crown accepted the plea to the lesser charge.
Detective Sergeant G. C. Rooskov, of Tumut, said McAlister had gone to the Tumut Police Station at 1pm on August 7 last year and said he had shot his mother. Sergeant Rooskov said McAlister, then 16, had shown no emotion while telling his story.
McAlister had said that after he had dug up a rabbit burrow, his mother had told him to return the spade to his aunt. As she was walking away he had shot her through the head.
Sergeant Rooskov said McAlister was a member of the Young Anglicans Fellowship, a member of a tight-knit and happy family, and an average student.
Mr Justice O’Brien remanded McAlister for sentence.
Graeme was a thoroughly decent human being and a friend to all that knew him.
On the day before his passing, he held the esteemed and usual job of being Father Christmas, at our retired police end of year party in Hervey Bay.
As it happened, we had a bit of time up our sleeve before lunch, so he was asked to give a talk on his career and family.
It was one that he spoke fondly of, and justifiably proud of. The next day he sadly passed.
RIP Graeme.

21 July 2018: The only certainty in life is death……We all die one day. Last night my father died. No one can say that he lost the fight cancer may have taken his body, but he never gave up or gave in. One of our proudest moments together was when I graduated from the Police Academy so I thought that was a fitting picture. The death on any parent is an invaluable lasting blow. Because no one ever loves you again like that. Until we meet again! Gone but never forgotten.
Posted to his personal FB page on the day he died. 13 April 2021 @ 8.13am. It was a ‘cut and paste’, or a Share from: Jim Casey 9 April 2021 @ 10.58am Tough times never last, but tough people do.” WEATHERING THE STORMS OF LIFE Life happens, not just for me but for all of us. When the storm has passed, put your energy into rebuilding your life, don’t waste time looking back. And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. Always to believe you the courage and strength to push through this and that tomorrow will be a better day. 16 of his friends either Liked it, Cared or gave a Heart. 2 days later, a friend, Tony Blake, asked Craig: ” Craig, what’s going on with you mate? Have you got support up there? ” The question went unanswered of course.
Megan Here …
It is with much sadness and disbelief I need to let our family and friends know that Craig took his life last night.
He has fought so many Demons and suffered immense mental anguish for so many years. The nightmares, the flashbacks, the anxiety and the depression were exhausting and debilitating and he needed peace.
He decided it was time to check out of this life and while we are heart broken we understand and we wish things were different but unfortunately there is a complete lack of support for our first responders especially after their careers have ended.
He was tired and as much as he loved us he decided it was time to end the pain and finally be at peace.
