00:02Stella Magnasalis is pleased South Australia Police has finally made its investigation into her treatment public.
00:10At least they did look at it. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with the sentencing or the way
00:16that certain police officers conducted themselves.
00:20Twelve months ago, Stella Magnasalis' former husband, Matthew Alan Thompson, an ex-police detective,
00:26was sentenced to two years and three months jail for repeatedly assaulting her over a five year period.
00:32Outside court, Ms Magnasalis said South Australia Police was a boys club and described how she was repeatedly let down
00:40by SAPOL,
00:41prompting Police Commissioner Grant Stephens to launch an internal investigation.
00:46You never know, it's like Russian Roulette who you get on the other side of the police barricade.
00:54Sometimes they're quite dismissive.
00:55Now the findings of the inquiry, aimed at identifying gaps in Stella's case, have been made public.
01:01In the statement, SAPOL said the behaviour of six officers had been scrutinised.
01:06The investigation determined that three officers did not act appropriately.
01:10Two of those officers received counselling, while a third resigned from SAPOL during the investigation.
01:16The statement also said South Australia expects members to respond appropriately to reports of domestic and family violence and treats
01:24shortcomings with due seriousness.
01:26As it stands right now, it will take a very long time to have a cultural shift in an organisation
01:34where their own staff don't come forward.
01:37Commissioner for victims' rights, Sarah Quick, says it's important institutions acknowledge when errors are made.
01:44It signals to victims that their harm, that the harm they've suffered, is being taken seriously.
01:50Despite acknowledging that officers had made mistakes, South Australia Police said no systemic failures had been identified and that any
02:00issues had been dealt with through disciplinary processes.
02:03It's not our burden to hold anymore.
02:08It's not our shame and a lot of the responsibility falls on the victim.
02:13And it's for us to relinquish.
02:16I apologise.
02:17Ms Magna Salas is also fighting to have Thompson, who has applied for parole, kept in jail to serve his
02:23full sentence.
02:24And there is a termination in the investigation, the way the sentence is what was supposed to be taken to
02:28these last days.
02:28He is a former captain of I or UK and he can talk to them to police officers with police
02:29officers with police officers.
02:29And we re-tribil to the guy who has a leader of the police officers who are the other one.
02:30It's a man who's a leader of the police officers.
02:30So I'm not done as a leader of the police officers.
02:31I'll assume the police officers are a leader of the police officers.
02:31And as a leader of the police officers who are in the police officers,
