Crime cleaning company 'technically' broke law over online posts but not charged

From Morning Report, 7:20 am on 23 December 2022

A police investigation has found a crime scene cleaning company that posted photos of death-related callouts online, broke the law.

The Deputy Privacy Commissioner has also completed a separate investigation this week.

Documents show publicly-funded organisations - including the Police - have paid the company more than $1.5 million for work.
