Daniel Keneally says he did not concoct a man’s threat to kill a police officer, telling a court he mistakenly believed the comment was made.
On Tuesday, prosecutor Daniel Boyle suggested to Keneally that he “made up” the conversation he detailed in his statement.Credit:He said his statement was “a reflection of what I truly believed at the time I had experienced” and he did not know at the time that it was incorrect, but he now accepts there are “significant” differences between his recollection and the recording.
“Absolutely not,” Keneally said, adding that the only way he could have been promoted as a constable was by accruing years of service. Forensic psychiatrist Dr Olav Nielssen told the court the “sheer number of different inputs” being accessed by Keneally before he wrote his statement could have had a “contaminating effect” which undermined the accuracy of his recollection, which became “fixed and vivid” over time.“The essence of my opinion is that our memory is not reliable,” Nielssen said. “Normal people, with no psychiatric disorder, no cognitive problems, can remember things inaccurately.
Keneally said Moore’s profile on the police computer system made him “heightened”, because it suggested he had a “propensity for violence” and psychiatric issues.

‘Infinitely better’: Daniel Andrews announces ‘big boost’ for Victoria’s social housingVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced his state has launched the country’s first project under the Social Housing Accelerator fund. The first project will see two red brick towers demolished to make way for something “infinitely better”, developing at least 231 units and delivering a ten per cent increase in social housing. The Premier believes his state’s partnership with the federal government on this issue is “long overdue and warmly welcomed by us”. “At last, a partnership on more housing for people who need it most,” Mr Andrews said during a media conference on Tuesday. “We were denied that partnership for a very, very long time under the previous government – they had no agenda for more housing. “We receive around $500 million under the accelerator – we will deliver 769 new homes, that is a big boost for social housing for those in our community who need that option.”
