Vic: Minister denies any wrongdoing
Senior Victorian government minister TIM PALLAS has rejected allegations that he tipped
off former police assistant commissioner NOEL ASHBY that his phone was tapped.
A leaked document alleges ASHBY met with a government minister in April 2007 and was
told to be careful if talking to former police association secretary PAUL MULLETT on the
telephone.
Fairfax radio host NEIL MITCHELL named Mr PALLAS today but the roads and ports minister
says he has no knowledge of a police integrity investigation.
He's admitted to meeting ASHBY on April 2 .. 2006 .. but says the meeting was about
roading projects and tunnels.
ASHBY resigned from the police force in 2007 after the OPI accused him of leaking sensitive
police information to MULLETT.
Both men have been charged in relation to the alleged leaks.
