The Null Device

Victoria Police superintendent Peter Billing, who drafted the police code of conduct, wants to ban police from accepting discounts from the Nike store, which has been the focus of anti-capitalist protests for the past few months, on the grounds that doing so may lead to a conflict of interest. The Nike store has a policy of giving uniformed police a 20% discount, which they say serves to deter shoplifters, rather than intimidating ultra-violent ferals. Police officers wearing their "discount suits" are eligible for special rates from numerous establishment, including fast food outlets, nightclubs and brothels, who wish to ensure their place on the good side of the law.
